Twitter has been toying with the idea of launching a verification program. The company had earlier announced that the process would go on floors in January but things did not happen as planned. However, new reports hint that the micro-blogging site will make a new self-served Verification Request form available from next week. For the uninitiated, Twitter had halted the verification process after one of the verified users was accused of being a white supremacist.
Researcher Jane Manchum Wong has shared the screenshots of Twitter’s verification forms that will be available from next week. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, “I was told by multiple sources that Twitter plans to launch the new self-served Verification Request from next week.” Twitter had revealed in its blog that the self-serve application process will be available on the Account Settings page on the web and in-app. “The process will include asking applicants to select a category for their verified status and confirming their identity via links and other supporting material.”
