shortly after the Post ran its test as impersonations of celebrities and brands proliferated across the platform.
But prior to the pause, the Post was able to set up a Twitter handle called "@realEdMarkey" using "a spare iPhone, a credit card and a little creativity." The account received a blue verified checkmark, even though Markey already has two legitimate verified accounts. The blue check is supposed to be a feature of the paid Twitter Blue, but the Post reporter found that Twitter said the fake Markey account was verified "because it's notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category."
