Twitter opens its certification program for organizations
Organizations will be required to submit their names, usernames Twitter as well as their websites to join the waiting list. They must also indicate their size and the expected number of affiliate accounts. If you remember, Elon Musk announced some time ago that the site was going to roll out a feature allowing organizations to identify accounts that are officially associated with them.
His announcement comes after the failed launch, to say the least, of the paid certification system, which resulted in a sudden and massive appearance of troll accounts impersonating companies, celebrities and other personalities. important. This new feature should solve this problem and ensure that users who claim to be part of a particular organization are who they say they are.
Elon Musk also announced at the time that the site would offer ticks in different colors: gold for companies, gray for governments and blue for individuals. This will make it much more difficult for an average user to impersonate a government agency or any company. Twitter eventually made the decision to halt the initial rollout of Blue due to the proliferation of spoofers before relaunching it in December for $11 a month.
Other novelties are also announced
Twitter will publish its “tweet recommendation code” and make tweet and account statuses visible “no later than next month”, according to Elon Musk. This could mean that users will know if they are shadowbanned and their tweets are not visible to others. “Transparency breeds trust,” added the billionaire. Additionally, it announced that the site would move the bookmark button to a tweet’s details page and that the automatic image cropping feature would be fixed next week.
We will soon launch Verification for Organizations, formerly known as Blue for Business. Today, you can apply for early access via our waitlist here: https://t.co/wNdVPXHQRq
