Twitter Will Start Labeling Useful Bot Accounts From July

Twitter‘s rolling out its new verification process starting today. Apart from this, the company also shared that it’s planning to introduce a new label for a special type of accounts: bots. The company didn’t say if owners of these bot accounts will be able to apply for this label.

The company said that it wants to mark some of these useful and non-harmful automated accounts with a label. The label shows the owner or the maker of the account as well.

Tweets from these accounts will also have a special mark when they’ll show up on your timeline.

Twitter said that automated account labels will roll out for selected accounts starting this July. The company added that it’s working on a label to memorialize accounts to remember folks who have passed away. Plus, it’s also thinking about how to clearly mark humor and satire accounts.
