Twitter's Dorsey CEO announced on March 8, 2018, live streaming on the live streaming platform "Periscope" offered by the company and it is studying the policy of releasing the certification badge . For live distribution, Twitter's product supervisor and others also appeared, details of the policy are told.


In this, Mr. Dorsey says "We are considering authenticating all users." Also, as to how to do that, "By implementing it in a scalable way that Twitter does not intervene, everyone can verify their facts and Twitter can judge the content and prevent a strange bias." I will.

Although the details are not clarified in this streaming, The Verge confirms the identity with Airbnb's registered Facebook profile registration, phone number / e-mail address confirmation, ID card number registration etc. I am predicting that.

Twitter's authentication badge was first offered only to the users selected by Twitter, and after that, we extended the target to certain users by requesting authentication from the application form. For this reason, users with this certification badge are mostly celebrities, and it is recognized as status on Twitter that certification badges are attached.


In addition, although the certification badge only indicates that "being a principal" has been confirmed, it is said that there are actual circumstances that this is being taken unexpectedly. According to David Gusca, director of product, according to the results of investigation, many users often regard this badge as "a seal on Twitter", accidentally understand that Twitter guarantees the contents of the user's remarks It is also known that there are cases that I am doing. This can be said to be a matter that needs to be addressed since it may cause erroneous recognition as spreading out that the statement of an account without an authentication badge is unreliable.

In fact, in November 2017, there was an event to stop accepting requests as confusion and misunderstanding spread due to the open bidge request.

Also, by making some indication about accounts that are posting neta while clarifying that there are many "parody accounts" existing on Twitter, that is, they are not himself / herself, it is said that the user erroneously speaks of himself / herself It is said that we are considering measures for not misunderstanding.
