Do you miss the blue tick on Twitter? We have good news! Once again, the profiles of celebrities, influencers and brands on the social network can be recognized through this badge, since the account verification process on Twitter has been reopened.
Account verification returns to Twitter
Several years ago Twitter decided to implement an account verification system, which was based on the fact that if a user account had a great impact, the social network would contact the owner, and after a process to verify their identity, the account would be certified. with the famous blue tick.
This process evolved over the years and with the large number of accounts that Email Data emerged, thus the platform allowed any user, as long as their account created a particular interest among users, to verify their identity by this method.
However, in Twitter decided to suspend its account verification because many users accused the social network of granting this badge as a symbol of status and prestige, mainly due to the controversy that was caused after the white supremacist Jason Kessler obtained its blue tick, while other accounts with a larger number of followers claimed to have requested this badge without any luck in obtaining it.
What does it mean to get the blue tick?
Now Twitter has decided that it is ready to once again offer account verification, integrating new guidelines for requesting and maintaining your badge. The first thing that the social network wants to clarify is the meaning of this verification. To be clear:
“The blue badge is one of the ways we help people distinguish the authenticity of accounts of high public interest. “This gives people on Twitter more context about who they are having conversations with and they can determine if they are trustworthy, which, according to our studies, leads to healthier and more informed conversations ,” Twitter says in its official statement .
This is how you can verify your account
Acceptance of a request for the famous blue tick will depend on the user fitting into one of the six categories that are eligible:
Government
companies, brands and organizations
News companies and journalists
Entertainment
Sports and gaming
Activists, organizers and other influencers
Beyond these categories, account verification will also depend on your information being complete (i.e. name and profile picture, confirmed email address or phone number), as well as being active for the last six months and having a history compliance with Twitter rules.

However, now the verification can also be removed for the following reasons:
The account has become inactive or incomplete
The user is no longer in the position that initially made them eligible for verification
Repeated attempts to impersonate or deceive users by changing the username on display or in the bio
Twitter Terms of Use Violations Resulting in Immediate Suspension
Twitter updates its policies to limit the spread of potentially harmful and misleading content about COVID-19
With these guidelines, Twitter hopes to prevent problems with users who may have misinterpreted verification badges as endorsements towards certain users : now verified users will not be able to violate the rules and keep their blue tick.
Twitter account verification will be available to all users in the coming weeks , and they will be able to request it from the “Settings” tab on the social network.
