Verification was meant to authenticate identity & voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance. We recognize that we have created this confusion and need to resolve it. We have paused all general verifications while we work and will report back soon

2 / Verification has long been perceived as an endorsement. We gave verified accounts visual prominence on the service which deepened this perception. We should have addressed this earlier but did not prioritize the work as we should have.

5 / We are conducting an initial review of verified accounts and will remove verification from accounts whose behavior does not fall within these new guidelines. We will continue to review and take action as we work towards a new program we are proud of.
Thanks for getting in touch. Send us a message and we'll get started helping you out. twitter.com/messages/compo

My verification was removed maybe due a long period of inactivity on the platform. But now there is a new government in Brazil, its main political actors are active twitterers, so I’m back + would very much like to regain my status. Would ask u please to review my recent activity
