Twitter updates verification policy to make it easier for users to understand eligibility criteria 

Twitter has updated the verification policy, which will help people in understanding who can get a blue tick and who will not.

Twitter had reopened its verification process after almost five years. The company had shut the verification process in 2017 after facing backlash over granting a blue tick to an accused. However, when Twitter relaunched the verification process, a lot of users got their application form rejected despite fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Twitter had to close its verification portal multiple times because it couldn’t handle the onslaught of requests. The microblogging site now claims that it has updated the verification policy, which will help people in understanding who can get a blue tick and two will not.

Twitter said that it will provide all the details to the users irrespective of the category they fall under. The updated policy will provide a better view of Twitter’s verification process. Twitter has listed on its blog that in order to get a blue badge on the microblogging site, your account must be authentic, notable and active.
