How Twitter Blue verification works
Twitter Blue verification is not like regular verification.
An officially Verified account means Twitter’s team has vetted a person, and deems them important enough – or at such significant risk of impersonation – to authenticate their profile.
This is usually reserved for key figures in news, entertainment, politics or other important industries.
A Verified account is signified with a blue checkmark on their profile and tweets.
With Twitter Blue, you get the same blue checkmark, but you won’t actually have been “verified”.
That means it’s possible that accounts that impersonate others can have a blue checkmark – although this would be against Twitter rules if not declared “parody,” ultimately resulting in a ban.
