From RT.com…
Twitter has stripped the blue checkmark from Christopher Rufo, a prominent critic of the controversial “critical race theory.” Supporters see it as the latest Big Tech attack on conservative voices online.
Twitter “disappeared my verification badge,” Rufo told his 220,000 followers on the platform, joking that he had “inserted my pronouns into my bio in hope of having it restored.” His profile was marked by the blue checkmark until a few days ago.
He also posted several screenshots, including a Twitter notification saying his account had been verified “incorrectly,” and an alert from Google, seemingly informing him his Gmail account was being targeted by a “government-backed attack.” It remained unclear if the two were connected in any way.
