Instead, all came from fake accounts, which already were a long-standing and occasionally disruptive issue for Twitter, but seem to be flourishing thanks to a policy change instituted under new owner Elon Musk that allows anyone to pay for a \u201cblue check\u201d to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to have been verified by the popular social media platform.<\/p>\n<p>James, the four-time NBA champion and four-time league MVP, regularly engages with his more than 52 million followers. So maybe it appeared plausible to some folks that he would request a trade via that medium with his Lakers off to a 2-8 start this season.<\/p>\n<p>He did no such thing, of course.<\/p>\n<p>There were nearly 10,000 engagements with the fake post purporting to be ESPN reporter Schefter relaying information about McDaniels, whose Raiders are 2-6 in his first year in charge: more than 6,000 likes, more than 3,000 retweets and more than 500 replies.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, that account was suspended.<\/p>\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n<p>Chapman supposedly told the world \u2014 in English and Spanish \u2014 that he re-signed with the Yankees for three years. Really? Not long after the team told the closer to stay away instead of including him on the postseason roster after he didn&#8217;t show up for a mandatory workout? No. Not really. Two-time NHL MVP McDavid supposedly announced that the Oilers, for whom he\u2019s the captain, were done with him. Really? No.<\/p>\n<p>The upshots: Two more pretend accounts got suspended.<\/p>\n<p>While all that was happening with sports names, Musk held a Twitter Space to make the case to his advertisers that his vision would make Twitter a safer and more reliable experience for users. Many advertisers have pulled out or paused over fears their brands could show up next to hate speech or misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP sports: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/sports and https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP_Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
