Social media platform Twitter will resume the verification process of its account early next year, under which ‘blue tick’ is given to the accounts of active and authentic users. Twitter stopped its public verification program three years ago, as it received a response that many found it arbitrary and confusing. However, Twitter continued to give blue ticks to accounts in special cases.
