Elon Musk announces next twitter update

Twitter is goig for another big update. As per Elon Musk from April 15 only verified accounts will be eligible to be in ‘For You’ recommendation, calling a move the only ‘realistic’ way to address the advanced AI bots on the social media platform. The announcement comes after Musk’s revelation last week that all users with “legacy” verification will lose their badges next month. Only those who register for Twitter Blue for $8 per month will get to retain their blue checks.

Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations.

The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.

Voting in polls will require verification for same reason.

Twitter has already announced that it would start dismantling the “legacy” verified system at the beginning of April.1. This means that users will have to be a company, government entity, or Twitter Blue subscriber if they want to pop into the feeds of people who don’t follow them. The individual users who pay for Twitter Blue will have verified check marks, For companies, the social platform had introduced a gold badge and government accounts will have a grey checkmark.
