Twitter: a blue check mark for everyone

Twitter throws the blue check marks on the shovel.

Twitter entered the tick in 2009. It was first for celebrities, later also for journalists and bloggers. It had to prevent abuse, but Twitter is not completely satisfied with the practice. 'People see it as credibility, as if Twitter supports someone, that Twitter believes that what they say is great and real. But that is not at all what we mean by the check, 'said Twitter director David Gasca.

Twitter wants among others that everyone can get a blue checkmark later. 'The intention is to open verification for everyone, in such a way that it can be extended and that we do not get in the way. People can also verify more about themselves. We do not have to judge ', Dorsey said.
