Twitter Verification Will Return Early next Year

We knew Twitter was working on a new verification system,  they just announced that they would relaunch its verification process early next year along with brand-new guidelines for users seeking out that small, blue badge.

If no changes to this proposal are made, the accounts that would be eligible for verification would include government accounts, companies, brands, nonprofits, news media accounts, entertainment, sports, activists, organizers, and what Twitter refers to as “other influential individuals.” The entirety of Twitter’s draft policy can be viewed here. After receiving feedback, Twitter plans to release the final policy on December 17th.
