ELON Musk has revealed that Twitter will roll out new updates for its verification system on Friday, December 2.
In a Tweet, Musk said the verification would be manual and the check multi-coloured to differentiate companies, governments, and individuals
Sorry for the delay, we’re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week.
Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates.
Painful, but necessary.

With the downsized workforce, the microblogging site may be pressed to manually examine each verification to hinder parody accounts or junk.
Musk also stated that individuals affiliated to organisations must be confirmed by the organisation to have a tiny check mark.
All verified individual humans will have same blue check, as boundary of what constitutes “notable” is otherwise too subjective.
Individuals can have secondary tiny logo showing they belong to an org if verified as such by that org.
Longer explanation next week.

After its launch, the platform’s CEO halted the new Twitter Blue due to impersonators and revealed it would continue on November 29.
But on Tuesday, Musk postponed the November 29 launch.
Based on the results of Wednesday’s poll, the Twitter boss posted that the platform will offer “general amnesty” to all suspended accounts starting from next week.
