It appears Twitter inadvertently awarded a gold verification badge to a parody Disney account that has published racial slurs.
As of this morning, Twitter account @DisneyJuniorUK boasted a gold verification badge on the social media site, accompanied by a message reading “This account is verified because it’s an official business on Twitter.”
Gold verification badges cost $1,000 per month, although the social media company has currently waived the fee for its largest advertising clients and most-followed brands. Meanwhile, the interloper’s bio section merely linked to another account called @7virtues_, which claimed to be managing the @DisneyJuniorUK account.
