A verified profile on Twitter has a blue tick next to the profile name, and usually drives trust in the person or organization across social media platforms.
As of Thursday, Twitter has renewed its profile verification process, which has been suspended since 2017. A microblogging speaker invited public feedback to develop its new verification policy in November last year.
"We received more than 33,000 responses from people during the response process, just a lot of ideas and suggestions and the response was worth it. People have seen our normal approach and transparency. , we have learned a lot. And that is what we published as the final draft in December. And ... we will continue to update and evaluate the policy throughout the year, "said Sarah Husain, who works with the Police team on Twitter.
A key Twitter driver who stopped confirming in November 2017, in his own words, that people found it "inappropriate and confusing". A verified profile on Twitter is the one with the blue mark next to the profile name, and it often drives trust to the person or organization on social media.
"In the next few weeks, everyone on Twitter will begin to see a new authentication request directly on the Account Settings tab.
If you don't see this update soon today, don't worry! We are releasing it to everyone in order to ensure that we are able to review applications in a timely manner, "Twitter said on the blog.
The three most important ways to qualify are to make sure their profiles are authentic, realistic and functional. The focus is, says B Bryne, who works with the Product team on Twitter, to ensure "remarkable accounts of great public interest".
To be eligible for accreditation, a person must adhere to the principles of membership in these six categories - government, companies, products and organizations, news organizations and journalists, entertainment, sports and sports, activists, organizers, and other influential people. Twitter works to expand classes and scientists, and religious leaders, over the course of the year.
In addition to the specific eligibility procedures for a particular category, the more information that will be available via Twitter, the account must be complete to verify. This means that the person or organization must have a profile name, profile picture or verified email address or phone number. The account must also be active for the past six months and have a record of adherence to the Twitter Rules.
According to Twitter, the blue badge gives people on Twitter an additional context of who they’re talking to so they can determine if it’s trustworthy.
Once a verification request has been submitted, one can expect an email response from Twitter within one to four weeks. If the request is accepted, the person will automatically see the blue badge on their profile. In the event that a user wishes to re-apply for verification, Twitter will allow him or her to do so after 30 days of receiving rejection in the previous attempt. There is no limit to the number of times a person can apply for confirmation, but the gap between re-applying must be 30 days.
Twitter will have a separate team dedicated to addressing verification requests, which have been extended "significantly by this launch".
"Since our last review, we have been conducting ongoing research on automated accounts and are planning to introduce a way to define this type of account in the next few months, with reminder accounts to be followed. "About," Twitter said in a post.
One of the things people will be able to include in their "about" category is their preferred pronoun for how they like to be referred and a verified account label (meaning the account has a verified phone number or email).
