Twitter launching subscription service that will let users edit tweets
NY Post
Twitter on Thursday said it will roll out a new subscription service — initially in Australia and Canada — which will let paying users edit their tweets before posting and change the color theme of their app.
Details of the feature, called Twitter Blue, were first uncovered last month by software engineer Jane Manchun Wong, who is well-known in the tech industry for reverse engineering apps and discovering new features before they are officially launched. Twitter Blue is the social media company’s first subscription offering, and a significant move as Twitter works to gain a new consistent source of revenue and expand beyond its core business of selling advertising on the platform.

Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
