Lol, Twitter own goaling this by bringing attention to something that might not have had much otherwise.

Strike and strike hard, workers! Get your money!

is that for real the reason?

Blue checks have controversial opinions all the time, so I'm surprised they're singling out Danny DeVito regarding Nabisco.

They sure moved quickly for this, yet they let the orange shit stain on twitter for years despite all the awful shit he said

Sounds just like coincidence, unless there's anymore to support this? It could easily be a fuck up or tech issue.

Are they owned by the same company or something? Why would Twitter care? It's not like every pro-union message gets this kind of response, does it?

It's probably not Intentional, I think usually it happens if a user makes certain changes to their account

Do you have any actual evidence that the post caused him to lose his checkmark? Because that makes no sense at all.

Most likely we'll get a statement that the check was removed "in error" and it'll be back. Either way it gets more eyes on the Nabisco story.

Amazing how people here rush to judgement when it doesn't load. Like it's most likely possible there is a tech error or glitch and not that he got in trouble over a cookie company.

Looking at my top trends, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Danny DeVito dressed up as a scantily clad He-Man for his Onlyfans page.

Sidenote, but as a tech person I'm always floored at the amount of people that try to connect two unrelated issues together.

I feel like we're missing a piece of information here.
They may very well be related but on the surface it doesn't look to be the case and could be an error or something else.

Celebrities have had their checkmarks removed accidentally before and they were later put back

Twitter is garbage but they didn't remove a celebrity's blue checkmark because he showed solidarity with Nabisco strikers. Left wing celebrities would be losing checkmarks on a regular basis if something like that caused it.

Come on.

It's just so unbelievable that Twitter decided to do the most visible and yet least effective move to try and silence one person from talking about organizing efforts at a company unrelated to both of them. I wonder who many other people twitter has silenced on this topic.

People in this thread surprised a large, American company acts like a cunt when it comes to unions and treating workers fairly. Come on now.

my guess is petty worker who isn't a fan and it'll get restored. or somekind of mass reporting. I think this happened to someone else this year or last.

I dont use Twitter but I thought the checkmark just indicates that he is actually Danny DeVito. I am pretty sure he is still. Something else must have gone wrong unless Twitter is in the thrall of Big Cookie
