2:27 pm
seeing here is a shift in social media business models. the whole industry is doing, there's not just twitter and they're exploring content monetization, namely they're trying to find new ways for users to create to, to actually pay for their products. and twitter blue is only one example. another example that we can think of as also from twitter is the fact that they're planning to charge around $42000.00 per month for industrial access to their data, such as the twitter a p i. that's what being half a $1000000.00 for per year for services that used to be really partially free. so what i think is really changing here is that we're, we're really getting to see the true nature of social media. it's not a public square that we all thought it was what a shop where we increasingly have to be money for digital products, and we're not just being with our data. on the one hand, twitter does have the right to change the service. however, the blue badge is started out as something completely different, not just something that you would pay for,
2:28 pm
but actually this identity verification mechanism. and what is important to highlight is that in the social media world, there's still a very controversial tension between safety and privacy. and for instance, in germany, a case loss shows that facebook could not ask for its users to register with their actual official identity. so the initial verified accounts program that twitter started in 2009 after celebrities were complaining about identity theft was this reputation mechanism that, that twitter basically started building as of then. and the problem right now is that if twitter start charging for identity for reputation building, actually we should say, then we are going to get back to this pre 2009 chaotic period because there will be new incentives for malicious behavior. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching al jazeera. we'll have more news up the top of the hour. coming up officer and side story. bye bye.
