Twitter Is Looking to Re-Open its Account Verification Process

Twitter is planning to re-launch verfication including a new public application process. Twitter said it will revamp how people can identify themselves on the microblogging platform, starting with verification and asking the public to share feedback on a draft of its new verification policy, it said in a blog post on Tuesday.

We're planning to relaunch verification in 2021, but first we want to hear from you.

Help us shape our approach to verification on Twitter by letting us know what you think. Take a look at our draft policy and submit your #VerificationFeedback here: https://t.co/0vmrpVtXGJ

This policy will lay the foundation for future improvements by defining what verification means, who is eligible for verification and why some accounts might lose verification to ensure that the process is more equitable.The company is starting by more clearly defining some of the core types of ‘Notable Accounts’ that are served by verification.
