It's interesting that tech isn't a category of accounts considered notable at all ?
— Ian Coldwater ?? (@IanColdwater) November 24, 2020
And with a Wikipedia article as a criteria for "other" notability?
That's one way to avoid verifying female engineers I guess https://t.co/Lxk8MeLnVB
Hey @Twitter: if you want to stand up for facts and reality, how about adding scientists and doctors as a category for verified accounts??? https://t.co/2Qbu2YZ6Z3

We’re planning to relaunch Twitter’s verification policy and application process in early 2021. Our goal is to bring clarity to what verification on Twitter means, the criteria we’ll use for assessing verification, and how to apply. https://t.co/MCJoeQ3O7J

As Twitter relaunches its verification process it also says that it’ll be removing verification badges from accounts which repeatedly violate the rules. https://t.co/Li0UOvfsOf

Twitter relaunches verification but hasn’t fixed the issue which caused them to pause it in the 1st place. It conflates

1. Notability
2. Authentication
Is giving a known racist a blue check an endorsement or proving it’s their real account? Not answered.https://t.co/p0fF37LE0Z
Buried lede here is that Twitter intends on revoking certain blue check marks in 2021. https://t.co/DIV2yjOBpe pic.twitter.com/dRx0URD2sg

This is interesting, but it still does not really answer: what is verification *for*?

I applied years ago - as a blogger, so falling into "Activists, organizers, and other influential individuals" but I'd not be top .1% follower numbers in ??#VerificationFeedback https://t.co/1pfhrI0XGx pic.twitter.com/W6dXVxr42I
We've released a draft of our new verification policy, and are seeking feedback from the public. If interested, we'd love your help in two ways:
— Mike Park (@mep) November 24, 2020
1. Review the draft policy: https://t.co/QaORSP9etC
2. Complete a survey here: https://t.co/3J26W5SGZt?

Remember THREE YEARS AGO when Twitter paused its verification program?
— Kerry Flynn ? (@kerrymflynn) November 24, 2020
Well, they're really working on it now and want all of our help on how to make verification better. I'll start: All dogs should be verifiedhttps://t.co/cwcrPGXNYF
i hope y’all stop verifying candidates for office, until they win. there are so many people who run long-shot campaigns and then use this app and their blue check to sow chaos and build their profile.

the “candidate for” label is good enough. https://t.co/HAPpDBOd7C
My feelings about verification are still:
— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) November 24, 2020
- It should have different flavors (“politician,” “journalist,” “doctor”)
- It should be available to all
- It is not nearly as complicated as Twitter thinks. Tinder launched verification months ago. Tinder! https://t.co/rsf7F0Jxoa
YouTubers, Twitch Streamers, and other content creators are some of the most frequently impersonated twitter users, and for some reason they're also rarely verified. Please, take this survey and tell twitter that digital content creators need the badge. https://t.co/QOSrULJj4j

Twitter is bringing back account verifications for brands, activists, and journalists in early 2021:https://t.co/HJcanazRi2 pic.twitter.com/En7rZIhGKx

The policy claims that if you’ve violated Twitter’s policies then you lose blue check status. Does this mean the NY Post or various US politicians will lose that status going forward after they’re restricted for sharing misinformation or hate speech?
— Dare Obasanjo (@Carnage4Life) November 24, 2020
Seems extremely unlikely.
Twitter to relaunch its verification process early next year along with brand-new guidelines https://t.co/8uK2xRz50i
— Ahmed Al Omran (@ahmed) November 24, 2020
We're relaunching verification in 2021. But first, we must clarify what verification is and who can be verified.

Today, we’re asking for feedback on a draft of our new policy. Help shape our approach by letting us know what you think. #VerificationFeedback https://t.co/yUiFEyxX1l
look at twitter, asking for feedback about a policy before implementing it! ??????https://t.co/IEe0LFjkmn
— EricaJoy (@EricaJoy) November 24, 2020
I like the fact that Twitter is taking the time to get feedback and going back to fix mistakes. It shows openness to change and improvement https://t.co/odmYmNGkZh
— Ellen K. Pao (@ekp) November 24, 2020
My suggestion:
— Marcelo Calbucci (@calbucci) November 24, 2020
1) Verify everyone and every company who wants to be verified
2) Detach "verification" from the meaning of "status"
3) If a user changes their name, username, or profile, they have to re-verify.
4) To verify, must use Gov ID (or biz license) & verify phone # https://t.co/GoYg0M6M70
It says they are gonna rescind some of the blue checks that have been issued, so....it’s been fun. ? https://t.co/RqRt5QUobQ

.@TwitterSupport please verify @marcjfranklin so that people stop thinking we’re the same person, which happens ALL THE TIME. (Also because he is good at this website, is a very good photographer and should be verified.) https://t.co/9F3Xc679oT

Give us multiple levels of verification: famous people and celebrities and us regular folks who are actually who we say we are. https://t.co/U3EruwLxlw

i better be able to get a fucking blue check out of this. i may not be an organizer but i am a damn elections staffer. i've already had an account impersonate me once to try to commit identity theft https://t.co/LLV2jnbsD8

Twitter updates verification protocol with no path to verification for new media/social media influencers. This is a major slap in the face to a lot of active users who are prone to heavy impersonation and false flagging. https://t.co/GB4wF8SgmH

Twitter is currently opening this up for public comment before they implement the policy. Thankfully, there IS an option for influencers in the survey. More info on how you can help below.
