Here's some potentially good news for those seeking validity via their Twitter presence. According to reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, who knows about such things, and has a range of connections inside Twitter HQ, the platform is looking to re-open public applications for profile verification from next week. I was told by multiple sources that Twitter plans to launch the new self-served Verification Request form next week https://t.co/vI4q63WwJe— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) May 13, 2021 As you may recall, back in November, Twitter announced that it would be looking to re-open applications for verification some time in 2021, after pausing public requests in 2017 due to confusion over what, exactly, the blue tick signified in the app. Twitter then provided more details on its revised verification guidelines, and when they would go into effect, in January, while further noting that public applications would be re-opening "in the next couple of months".
