Twitter to relaunch verification policy from January 20

NEW DELHI: Twitter on Friday said it will relaunch its account verification process from January 20, whereby active and authentic user accounts can sport the “blue verified badge.”

The enforcement of the new process will also see the microblogging platform removing the verified badge from inactive and incomplete accounts.

In November, Twitter had announced that it will relaunch its account verification process in early 2021 and had asked the public to share feedback between November 24 and December 8 on a draft of its new verification policy.
