A certified account on Twitter is the guarantee of recognition on the social network.

This leaves no doubt about the identity of the person when it is public, whether it is an artist, a politician, a non-governmental organization or a journalist.

But with the arrival of Elon Musk at the head of the platform, everyone could soon obtain the blue badge of certification.

But on condition of paying, warns

“The whole verification process is being overhauled right now,” Elon Musk announced on Twitter on Sunday.

Even before the acquisition of the social network, the billionaire had not hidden his desire to reorganize it.

Thus, a new subscription to Twitter Blue will be offered for 19.99 dollars per month.

According to

The Verge

, you would have to go through this subscription to be certified.



Launched at the end of 2021 in the United States, the Twitter Blue service currently allows subscribers to obtain features that others do not have, such as personalized icons or the possibility of modifying tweets.

For its part, certification is currently obtained by certain accounts that provide identity documents.

In addition, those who are already certified would have 90 days to subscribe to the new Twitter Blue formula.

If they don't, they could lose their little blue badge.
