“#Twitter<\/a>\u2019s new verification policy will drop in January 2021<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Twitter is planning to launch a new account policy in 2021. This will include a fresh verification process, as well as a way to highlight bots and accounts of the deceased.<\/span><\/p>\n

The social networking company said that there are plenty of useful bots and services on the platform. But it wants to make it clear that these profiles are not human-operated with a new \u201cautomated account\u201d label.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, Twitter will introduce a \u201cmemorialized\u201d label that will be put on the profiles of those who have passed away. It\u2019ll also build a separate process to app<\/a>ly for memorialization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n
Facebook has had this option for years, with its legacy contacts feature<\/a> allowing those close to the deceased to handle the profile.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Twitter\u2019s new policies for accounts in 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2017, after a controversy involving a supremacist account, Twitter paused its account verification program<\/a>. Now, the company is finally bringing it back next year with new rules. Starting from January 20, you\u2019ll be able to apply for verification from your settings. Twitter has removed the criteria of having a header picture and a bio to qualify for the process.<\/p>\n

In June, Twitter said that it was forming rules of verification and this time it\u2019ll be transparent about the categories of people who could get the blue tick. In the beginning, the firm will verify six categories of accounts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • news<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  • entertainment<\/span><\/li>\n
  • sports<\/span><\/li>\n
  • activists, organizers, and other influential individuals<\/span><\/li>\n
  • companies, brands, and nonprofit organizations<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u00a0government officials<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Twitter said that from January 20, it\u2019ll also start removing verification badges from profiles that are incomplete and inactive \u2014 people who haven\u2019t logged into the account for six months; the company will also revoke verification from accounts that violate the company\u2019s rules severely and repeatedly.<\/p>\n
