Most news that makes headlines on Twitter these days is not positive. The new authentication feature that has come to the fore is the kind that will divide the users on the platform into two. Although Twitter hasn't officially confirmed this yet, some users' verified account details say "this account must be authenticated". It looks like the social media giant wants to roll out a new feature called authentication. With this feature, it will be determined not only whether a Twitter account is a copycat, but also whether it is real.
With the growing problem of impersonation on Twitter, the authentication system will help many people not be misinformed on the platform. It is not yet clear when this feature will be available, but it is already seen that this feature is used in some accounts. These users need to upload their legal identities to Twitter along with a selfie to verify their identity. For now, it is unclear whether this feature will be available only on the Twitter Blue service or on all accounts.
While this move provides many benefits, it also raises concerns about user privacy and data security. It also causes Twitter to move away from one of its popular aspects, anonymity. According to the reports, Twitter will work with a third-party company to handle data protection and the entire verification process. However, for now, these are rumors and there is a possibility that Twitter will not take this feature into general use. We will inform you when new information on this matter becomes available.
