Twitter Inc. appears to have stopped offering its paid subscription service after people were using it to impersonate companies, brands and celebrities. 

The company in recent days had rolled out an update to the service, Twitter Blue, which allowed any user to pay $7.99 a month for a verified account and other privileges. But the Twitter Blue subscription wasn’t available for purchase on the iOS app on Friday. On its website, Twitter said accounts created on or after Nov. 9 were “unable to subscribe to Twitter Blue at this time.”
