Twitter to revise its user verification process

Elon Musk announced Sunday that Twitter would change its user verification procedure.  According to Reuters, the American entrepreneur came up with the decision just days after the acquisition of the social media was completed. 

Musk tweeted that he was planning changes to the user verification process. 

As reported by Platformer, Twitter is considering charging users for getting the blue tick on their account verifying the identity of its account holder. 

The verification procedure will be available for those who sign up for a monthly Twitter Blue subscription, which will cost $4.99. Otherwise, users who previously carried a blue tick flagging may lose it. 

The final decision on revamping the verification process has not yet been made and there that the project may not be implemented. However, according to Platformer, verification may be included in Twitter Blue subscription.

The Verge reported on Sunday that the price of Twitter Blue subscription, which also gets users verified, will be raised from $4.99 to $19.99 per month.

Twitter Blue, launched last June, is the platform’s first-ever subscription offering. The company’s optional gives users "exclusive access to premium features", including tweet editing.
