The ‘Verification for Organizations’ service is now available globally.
Rob Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital strategy, has reportedly said that according to Twitter’s updated policies, the White House will no longer be able to guarantee verification of federal agency accounts.
As Elon Musk Set to begin removing the legacy verified blue check mark starting Saturday, the White House is reportedly not going to pay to verify official Twitter profiles of its staffers.
According to a report in Axios, Rob Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital strategy, sent the guidance to staff via email.
“It is our understanding that Twitter does not provide individual-level verification as a Blue service. Thus, a blue check mark will now only serve as a verification that the account is a paid user,” the email read.
The guidance doesn’t necessarily apply to government agencies, but it may send guidance to some agencies and departments in the future, according to the report, citing a source familiar with the White House’s plans.
Some White House officials, such as the President and Vice President, will continue to be verified with gray checkmarks.
In his email, Flaherty said that as per Twitter’s updated policies, it will no longer be able to guarantee verification of federal agency accounts that do not meet its new eligibility requirements.
Meanwhile, micro-blogging platform Twitter on Friday announced that its ‘Verification for Organisations’ service is now available globally.
According to the company, Verified Organizations is a new way for organizations and their affiliates to differentiate themselves on the micro-blogging platform.
Accounts that are affiliated with the organization will receive an affiliate badge on their profile with the business’s logo, and will also be displayed on the organization’s Twitter profile showing their connection.
“All organizations are vetted before joining Verified Organizations,” the company said.
The ‘Verification for Organizations’ service was earlier called ‘Blue for Business’.
