Elon Musk: Twitter’s new multicoloured verification will launch next week. under this scheme, companies will get a gold checkmark, government officials will get a grey checkmark. blue checkmark will be dedicated to individuals even if they are not celebrities.
Elon Musk announced that the social network would likely roll out a new colourful authentication system next week after botching the initial rollout of Twitter’s “power to the people” verification system.
What is Twitter’s new multicoloured verification plan?
companies will get a gold checkmark, government officials will get a grey checkmark. blue checkmark for $8 will be dedicated to individuals even if they are not celebrities.
According to the owner of Twitter, under this system, businesses will receive a gold checkmark, government officials will receive a grey checkmark (likely resembling the “official” checkmark it is currently testing with some prominent accounts), and the blue checkmark will be reserved for people even if they are not famous. That would imply that the new $8 per month premium plan on Twitter as well as legacy verified accounts will use the blue check mark.
Before the new verification method goes online, the business intends to manually validate each verification, Musk continued. Given that Twitter Blue subscribers will get a blue checkmark, it’s unclear what he means by that. Additionally, Twitter’s smaller staff will be under pressure to personally review each verification in order to prevent any spam or impersonation.
Musk said that people may have a second, very small emblem to show that they are affiliated with a certain group. Additionally, that organisation must confirm that the person actually works for or is a representative of them. He continued by saying that it was decided to apply the blue checkmark to all individual accounts because a person’s notoriety is a matter of opinion.
Musk suspended the redesigned Twitter Blue programme earlier this month and said that it would start up again on November 29. The Tesla CEO, however, postponed this strategy this week until “there is a high degree of halting imitation.” It should be noted that he had never previously discussed the use of various colours for verification.
He didn’t say whether the distribution of the Twitter Blue revamp will coincide with the implementation of this new verification system. Currently, it’s likely that this verification relaunch only applies to already verified accounts, businesses, and government officials — not to paid subscribers.
Once Twitter Blue is ultimately reintroduced, Twitter will have taken another step toward eradicating spam and false accounts. Following a modification in the company’s rules last week, newly formed accounts must now wait 90 days from the date of account creation before they may subscribe to Twitter Blue.
Numerous accounts started using false identities when the new verification mechanism was originally introduced by Musk-led Twitter on November 9. Twitter promptly stopped the initiative as a result. He is currently making every effort to prevent a repeat of such mayhem.
Earlier today, Musk said that starting next week, Twitter will provide “a broad amnesty” to all banned accounts based on the results of a vote he conducted a few days ago.
