I don't know how it is in US, but in Europe, the amount of scams is growing. Twitter blue checkmark was created to distinguish real humans vs scammers.

The fine was to protected the users from that scam.

I like paying taxes to protected the users that don't have the ability to detect scams as we all here have (most of the time).

EU miss the point equally to the Congress in uuss when non tech people believe they can rule (or just lobbied).

But on this case, there will be no problem if Twitter had decided to use another checkmark for pro accounts.
