JAKARTA - Twitter has implemented several checkmarks on verified accounts to provide transparency and trust to users. For example, a blue tick shows that the account has a Twitter Blue subscription and meets the feasibility requirements.

Meanwhile, the gold tick shows that the account is an official business account verified by the Twitter Verified Organizations.

In addition, there is also a gray tick that shows that the account represents a government or multilateral organization or government or multilateral officials. State accounts that meet the requirements can register to get a gray tick, including the main executive office, agency accounts that oversee certain policy areas, embassy accounts and the main consulate, as well as institutional parliamentary or other equivalent accounts.

Meanwhile, eligible government officials including heads of state, deputy heads of state, cabinet ministers at the national or equivalent level, major official spokespersons for executive or equivalent branches, as well as individual members of all rooms of Congress, parliament, or other equivalents.

Twitter is also implementing an affiliated label that shows the connection of accounts with organizations on Twitter. While automatic labels provide transparency by helping to identify whether an account is a bot or not. Automatic accounts are identified with a "automatic" label.

Finally, professional category labels selected by users when converting to a professional account are also available to provide more information about the account. For example, the "coffee shop" label shows that the account is a coffee shop business account.

With clear checkmarks and labels, Twitter hopes to provide more reliable information for users to avoid fraud and misinformation on the platform.
