Twitter user? Important notice for you from the company | Check how to do it

Twitter update: The micro-blogging site Twitter is restarting its verification process from today, the process which gives people the blue verified badge after a gap of 3 years. Twitter said it will be relaunching the self-serve application portal for the public to apply for verification in 2021.

Twitter had stopped verification process in November 2017, as the blue tick was being seen as an endorsement creating a perception problem. Based on the feedback of users, Twitter will now count followers on a per-region basis instead of per-country basis previously, which is supposed to make its follower count requirements less susceptible to spam.

Twitter will verify accounts that fall under these six categories: government, companies/brands/non-profit organisation, news, entertainment, sports, activists/organisers and other influential individuals.

This Twitter process will include asking applicants to select a category for their verified status and confirming their identity via links and other supporting materials.

"We plan to use both automated and human review processes to ensure that we are reviewing applications thoughtfully and in a timely manner. We also plan to give people the option to share demographic information after completing the new verification application so that we can better measure and improve the equity of our verification process. We’ll share more details about the application process soon," Twitter said in its blog post.

"When it comes to helping people trust who they’re interacting with on Twitter, bios, Tweet content, mutual follows and profile information provide helpful context. This is why we’ve started rolling out profile labels for political candidates, government accounts, and state-affiliated media," Twitter said.

"We are excited to relaunch verification and start rolling out these new account types, and we’ll share more soon," Twitter noted.
