This looks like it applies mostly to the blue checks. Having an unobvious verified parody account does raise issues, but its hard to know exactly where to draw the line.

Normally I don't think you'd have many people against this, it's just amusing that he's doing this now with so many making fun of him using this after his comments about comedy and free speech.

What if you want to parody the blue checks program?

The $8 program giving the same checkmark has NO verification except a valid credit card. None. Zero. Zilch.

Omg, that’s what I interpreted it to mean when I read the most recent Twitter app patch notes, but I thought surely there was no way the implementation could be that stupid because that is quite evidently the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. Yet… here we are.
