I'm not sure why big corporations have the mentality that twitter should be free.

It costs money to run a platform and for a company as big as CIRA to not show support is kind of short sighted.

PS. LOVE THE LOGO ON THE MOOSE SHIRT

They don’t wanna pay $8 but have no problem raising their price by a dollar for domains and costing people thousands. I guess it’s only OK for them to make money. No one else.

Clearly it is no sweat for any legit business in the world to pay for the verification, for all the points you guys have pointed out. If you can't afford that, you should not be in business. This isn't about money, this is, like everything else going on now days, purely social virtue signalling, and I guess people in CIRA don't like Elon Musk and that's that.

If you don’t like Twitter instead of making a silly statement like that maybe just stop using Twitter. They know that would hurt them more. So they end up making ridiculous statements that it’s about phishing attacks and criminals.

Just like a domain name…if you want to be reputable you need to pay for that domain to make yourself stand out. That concept is lost even on CIRA.

Hehe.... you think?

All the people that don't like twitter go to Mastodon.
I tried them and the censor kings are as rampant as on namepros. YIKES

Well, they still have twitter listed too, lol. But that definitely makes it look like they're explicitly promoting one over all the others, with the name being spelled out like that.
