Twitter account verification colour:  Account verification procedure of twitter has been finally launched.  Previously, every account had a blue tick, but there has been a change in which some accounts have turned gold.

Last month Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, made the announcement on Twitter. “Sorry for the delay, we’re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week,” he twitted.

“Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates,” the SpaceX owner added.

He had previously tweeted about the use of different colours for different organisations and individuals, but only recently fleshed out the details.

According to The Verge, despite warnings from Twitter’s own trust and safety staff, the microblogging platform’s ‘Twitter Blue’ subscriptions went live. Here are details of Twitter account verification colour:

Musk took matters into his own hands, tweeting that any account that attempted to impersonate someone else would be disabled unless the user declared it to be a parody account.

He stated that a “longer explanation” of how the system would work would be released “next week.”
