Twitter to Offer Free Verification to Top 10,000 Follower Count Organizations and 500 High-Spending Advertisers Twitter has announced that it will be making significant changes to its verification process, including the phasing out of its legacy verified program in April and the introduction of Twitter Verification for Organizations. As part of this, Twitter is offering a complimentary verification to the top 10,000 organizations with the highest follower counts, as well as to the 500 advertisers that spend the most on its platform. This change will allow companies that are willing to pay $1,000 per month to retain their verification, and also denote certain accounts as "affiliated." This feature will be beneficial to brands that want to verify affiliated accounts, as is already being done with Twitter Support and Twitter Blue accounts. For users who rely on Twitter as a source of information, it is important to know that the information is coming from a verified account.
