A recent investigation shoes that Twitter is verifying bot profiles! …& that’s just the top of the iceberg!!!
Under the leadership of its new CEO Elon Musk, Twitter has settled on keeping its paid “Verified” program via a Twitter Blue subscription, despite plenty of heavy scrutiny ever since Musk took over in November.
Twitter’s response is that any such accounts will be suspended once detected, while it has also hinted at new measures to confirm user identities in the Twitter Blue sign-up process. But thus far, there’s no real checking process in place, with Twitter instead relying on what it calls ‘payment verification’ – i.e. bot accounts won’t be able to pay, so they won’t be able to sign-up to Twitter Blue, or it’ll be increasingly expensive for them to do so.
Though that, seemingly, has not proven to be a real deterrent as yet.
Twitter user Conspirator0 has shared a range of examples of these AI-generate accounts, which are currently active Twitter Blue subscribers in the app.
Check examples below for Verified Twitter Bot Profiles –
Twitter’s currently in the process of expanding these company badges to all approved staff of approved companies within the app, which also includes a new description panel to explain why the user has a blue checkmark.
Well, we hope twitter takes some fast and serious measure to combat fake bot profiles, and the verification of Twitter bot profiles.
