Twitter said that in 2021, account verification will again work on the social network, new account types and labels will appear.

At the moment, Twitter has announced a preliminary version of the new account verification rules, which will take effect in early 2021. The final version will be presented on December 17th.

Also, the company notes that only “significant” and “active” accounts will be able to apply for the blue checkmark.

• State – pages of government agencies, presidents, ambassadors, ministers and other officials.
• Companies, brands and organizations.
• News accounts of the media and their employees.
• Entertaining pages of film, television and music studios.
• Sports – professional leagues, teams, athletes, as well as coaches.
• Activists, organizers and other influencers.

Accounts that want to go through verification must contain full information about the owner, a verified phone number and email address. Parodist, fan, pet, and fictional character pages cannot get ticked.

In some cases, Twitter can take the badge from the user, for example, if they change their details to mislead people, or starts to incite hatred and heroic violence in tweets.

Earlier, Twitter started testing voice messages and also launched a chat window in the web version.
