Twitter reopens verification after 3-year hiatus: check eligibility details

Beginning Thursday, Twitter relaunched its profile verification process, which was on hold since 2017. The microblogging platform invited public feedback to develop its new verification policy in November last year.

“We received over 33,000 responses from people during the feedback, just a plethora of ideas and suggestions and overall the response was positive. People perceived our general approach and the transparency well. They liked that we decided to make this detailed criteria public, but we did make some changes as a result of the response. Yeah, we learned a lot. And that was what we published as a final draft in December. And…we’re going to continue to update and audit the policy throughout this year,” said Sarah Husain, who works with the Policy team at Twitter.
