Elon Musk on Monday (21 November) said that Twitter is holding off the relaunch of its blue check verification service.
Musk had earlier announced that the service will relaunch on 29 November.
The tech billionaire took to Twitter to inform that the service launch is being delayed until "there is high confidence of stopping impersonation".
Musk also informed that the service, when relaunched, may use different color check for organisations than individuals.
"Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation. Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals," Musk tweeted.

The coveted blue check mark was previously reserved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures.
