Twitter restores account verification after three years Updated: Updated: Microblogging platform aims to bring in more transparency Share Article Microblogging platform aims to bring in more transparency Twitter on Thursday said it will begin rolling its new application and review process for account verification on Twitter, almost three and a half years after pausing the programme. The U.S.-headquartered firm added it is also working on ways to indicate automated and memorialised accounts. A verified account on Twitter gets the ‘blue tick badge’ which is one of the ways people can distinguish the authenticity of accounts that are of high public interest.
