When a Twitter account is verified, it includes a blue badge that is displayed to the right of the name. This verification process was canceled more than 3 years ago due to the company's own inconsistencies in offering this, say, reward to its users.
No one knew for sure what criteria did the company use to be able to request the verification of a Twitter account, despite the fact that we had a form where we had to fill in all our data to request them and wait several months until we received the usual NO.
From Twitter they just announce that by 2021 they want vForget to activate the account verification request process, but it seems that he is not very clear how to do it and has requested the help of the community.
Twitter requests that the community share your ideas to create a new verification policy draft, because they want to make sure that the process, now, reflects the community and not just the company. This change of position is curious, since Twitter is a private company and is free to establish the necessary requirements to request it.
Jack Dorsey's company wants to lay the foundations of what the new verification process will look like from 2021 with the help of its users, where all users can know quickly if they have the possibility to request it and the reasons why those who already have it can be left without it.
To begin with, they have already identified the 6 account types that can request the verification process that allows users to know that the public interest account is authentic:
- Government
- Companies, brands and non-profit organizations
- News
- Entertainment
- Sports
- Activists, organizers and other influential individuals
In addition, the accounts that already have the blue verification badge will be reviewed and if the profile is incomplete or the account has no activity, it will be eliminated, a process that will be carried out automatically to speed up the revision work.
If you want to collaborate with Twitter you can do it through This survey or publish your comments about it with the hashtag #VerificationFeedback. The survey is available from today until December 8. By December 17, they will announce the new account verification policy that will be active again in 2021.
