Twitter is planning on making a major change in its voting system. The company’s CEO Elon Musk has just announced that only verified accounts will be allowed to make votes on the polls on its platforms. This is a big move, so here are all the details.
Elon Musk has just announced that only these verified accounts will be eligible for voting in polls, with the change going live on April 15. The move was announced by the CEO on the microblogging website and arrives to address the advancement in AI that have been flooding the platform with AI bots. However, this is not the only feature locked behind a paywall.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX further added that only verified accounts will be eligible to be displayed on Twitter’s For You recommendations. In other words, only the users with the checkmarks will have their tweets brought forward on your Twitter For You page. This change has seen some push back on the platform itself, but Twitter has yet to respond on any queries regarding this matter at the moment.
In his official tweet, Elon Musk stated that “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.” He further added that “My prediction is that this will be the only platform you can trust,” which are some tall claims.
