JAKARTA - Recently, Twitter's blue verification or tick feature became a hot topic of conversation after Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk took over the social media platform.

Musk tweeted some time ago suggesting the latest rule, where verified users are required to subscribe to Twitter Blue which is priced at IDR 77 thousand per month.

Users will be given 90 days to subscribe to Twitter Blue. If not, then they will lose the blue tick.

However, what is the verification feature? Verification is a Twitter system to let users know that popular accounts that have a blue tick are genuine. To get it, an account must meet the three criteria of the social network. The following is below.

How to Get a Verfiable Account on Twitter

Launching Trusted Reviews, Tuesday, November 1, users must be the same as the original alias account owner. Here Twitter will ask users to verify official email addresses or ID verification, such as SIMs or passports. Both users must be well-known figures or public figures. Third, user accounts must be public with profile names, profile images, and have been active on Twitter in the last six months.

Once you believe you meet these requirements, all you need to do is log in to account settings, press Account Information, enter passwords, go to Verification and press Request Verification. Then Twitter will start the verification process.

Who Can Get Account Verification?

Anyone can apply for verification, but users in this category will quickly get verification. Such as, governments, news organizations, individuals in news and journalists, companies, brands and organizations, entertainment, sports and games, activists and organizers, content creators and influential individuals.

Even so, there is no guarantee that the account with the above criteria will get a blue tick.

There are also several types of accounts that cannot be verified, including parody accounts, unofficial fan accounts, pets, fictional characters, accounts that violate Twitter platform manipulation and spam policies (that is, those who have purchased and sold followers) and accounts related to creating hateful content.
