![]() Of course, Twitter is sure to see a wave of new verified Tweeters regardless of these restrictions. While this still leaves out most Twitter users, the new verification system is not designed to be like Tinder where anyone who can take a selfie can get a verified account. In addition, the account must fit one of these criteria for off-Twitter notability: a related Google Trends profile with recent search activity a stable Wikipedia article three or more featured references within the six months prior to applying in verified news outlets or reference to the account or account owner holding a leadership role on an official site linked to advocacy work. 05-percent of active accounts in the same geographic region in terms of volume of conversation, mentions, follower growth, or other internal signals or widely credited for creating a popular hashtag movement. 1-percent of active accounts in the same geographic region in the top. For example, a follower count in the top. However, there's additional criteria to justify the account's notability if it doesn't fall into one of the above six categories. ![]() An account needs to be consistently used for six months prior to application, the account has to generally follow Twitter's rules, and not be used for harassment or shaming people or groups. Other accounts may also be still eligible. However, this past November, Twitter announced it was bringing the program back for 2021. Accounts that already had the checkmark kept it, but new accounts would not be getting verified any longer. In 2017, Twitter stopped the verification program. Originally intended for celebrities and other public figures, Twitter announced a public application process for other accounts of public interest, such as members of the media, to be verified. First introduced in Australia and New Zealand in February, Meta Verified gets you benefits like a blue verification badge, proactive impersonation protections, and direct access to customer. The blue checkmark on a profile was a way for the social media service to authenticate that the user was in fact who they claimed to be. Twitter first introduced verified accounts back in 2009 after celebrities, such as Kanye West and Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa, had criticized (and, in the latter case, sued) the platform over accounts impersonating them. ![]() As a result, this is a pre-spring cleaning of sorts, with some users who already had a blue badge on their account losing it. It is making these changes at the same time as preparing to reopen its public verification program in a way that's more inclusive. Twitter started to remove verification badges from some users last Friday as it amended its rules on who qualifies as a verified user. ![]()
