New Verification Policy for Twitter

We are going to be focusing on the policy areas where Twitter has made changes. The first change that Twitter has brought to the verification policy is that a profile can be called complete without any bio or header image. Secondly, Twitter has updated its references with Wikipedia so that the standards of notability and article quality are high.

The third change is that now the ‘News’ category will also include ‘News and Journalists’ followed by the ‘Sports’ category, which will also include ‘Sports and esports’. The company also added a reference in its ‘Entertainment’ category so that the inclusion of digital content creators in the category is more solid. Twitter also changed its policy of looking for a minimum follower count from a ‘per-country’ basis to a ‘per-region’ basis.
