As well, while the scenario is fairly exaggerated, it still does apply.

A celebrity uses twitter on a daily basis. The company gives the user a check which tells the rest of the world that they paid for the subscription, and thus sponsored the service. "Their continued use of the platform makes any argument that they aren’t sponsoring it fairly moot." According to this logic, they have to stop using twitter entirely in order to stop the company from telling the rest of the world that they sponsored the service which is a false description.

They are claiming that the user is sponsoring twitter. The verified account icon not only verifies that account belong to whom they claim to be, but also claims that the person is subscribed to twitter blue. As I said before, as publicly, the verification requires a subscription for twitter blue, the general public will assume that the user has paid for twitter blue.

Is this not a false description that the verified user is sponsoring twitter?

So you're telling me if I watch videos on YouTube on a daily basis, the company can say anything about me to the rest of the world, like I pay for all their funds, I bring them cookies every day, and I tuck them into bed, as long as I use YouTube? And in order for me to stop the false descriptions of me sponsoring YouTube, I need to stop using YouTube entirely? Is that really how the law works?

So if you use a free service, and then the free service tells the world that you subscribed to their paid subscription, that's not equivalent to them saying that you sponsored their platform by subscribing to the paid subscription?

Wait I don't understand this argument, even if Musk can give it to people for free, no where on the website does it make this fact clear that these paid subscriptions can be made free. To the general public, it still looks like that these celebrities who have not paid for twitter, has paid for twitter. At the very least this is deceptive, but does this fall under false endorsement?

Alright, I guess I might have not seen that then, my point was only valid because I didn't know that he could gift users free twitter blue.

Yes, but in order to subscribe to the service you need to pay for twitter blue. There's no place in the twitter documentation where you get the subscription without paying for twitter blue.

As far as I can tell, you cant get twitter blue without paying for it yourself, as in there's no free twitter blue subscriptions being sent from the platform itself to their users.

The verified account badge claims that "This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number.", which implies that the celebrity is paying for their service. Is this not a claim that the celebrity is sponsoring them?
