    Twitter To Remove Verification Badge From Accounts That Violate It Rules

    Twitter recently suspended its verification process following widespread criticism for verifying an account of a noted white supremacist.

    The verification process is back but with a new set of rules. According to Twitter, users will lose their verification badge if they violate its rules the following rules:

    • Intentionally misleading people on Twitter by changing one’s display name or bio.
    • Promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. Supporting organizations or individuals that promote the above.
    • Inciting or engaging in harassment of others.
    • Violence and dangerous behaviour
      • Directly or indirectly threatening or encouraging any form of physical violence against an individual or any group of people, including threatening or promoting terrorism
      • Violent, gruesome, shocking, or disturbing imagery
      • Self-harm, suicide
    • Engaging in activity on Twitter that violates the Twitter Rules.

    To throw more light on the new verification programme, Twitter tweeted via @TwitterSupport. Here are the tweets.

    1 / UPDATE on our verification program and the actions we're taking.

    2 / Verification has long been perceived as an endorsement. We gave verified accounts visual prominence on the service which deepened this perception. We should have addressed this earlier but did not prioritize the work as we should have.

    3 / This perception became worse when we opened up verification for public submissions and verified people who we in no way endorse.

    4 / We're working on a new authentication and verification program. In the meantime, we are not accepting any public submissions for verification and have introduced new guidelines for the program. https://t.co/j6P0HGXIVq

    5 / We are conducting an initial review of verified accounts and will remove verification from accounts whose behavior does not fall within these new guidelines. We will continue to review and take action as we work towards a new program we are proud of.

    — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) November 15, 2017

    In the meantime, Twitter has begun removing the verified check mark of some of its users on.
