LOS ANGELES — Twitter users were greeted early Saturday with an ultimatum from the social media app: Subscribe to the platform’s new premium service or lose a popular account security feature.
The message said that starting March 19, users who don’t subscribe will be locked out of their accounts until they remove the security feature. Such codes can be generated by apps like Microsoft MSFT Authenticator or Alphabet’s GOOG GOOGL Google Authenticator. Or they can be sent to a user’s smartphone via text message.
Elon Musk, who completed his $44 billion takeover of Twitter in October, has been trying to find way to maximize profits at the company.
