In the past few months, there have been many changes on Twitter following the acquisition by Elon Musk. However, many of these changes have not been fully accepted by the user base. One particular aspect that sparked controversy is the introduction of a new badge, which will be explained in this article.
Musk’s updates to the platform have garnered more criticism than praise from regular Twitter users. As a result, many people have left the platform or switched to alternative social media platforms. This article focuses on the implementation of Twitter’s new verification system.

According to top management, the implementation of the new verification system aims to help identify the social groups to which account owners belong, which is seen as a new way of functioning. The goal is also to prevent impersonation of general accounts where only the profile picture is taken into consideration.
This new verification system emerged as a result of the introduction of Twitter Blue, the platform’s subscription payment model. Since the introduction of this payment model, many users have been registering accounts using the names of companies and media outlets, even if they are not relevant.

Golden Badge: On the other hand, there is another badge that can be seen on numerous accounts.
