Twitter is testing a new feature where only verified users’ tweets will be recommended to others. The feature is currently being tested in the United States, but it is unclear when it will be available globally.
The purpose of the feature is to increase the quality of the tweets that are recommended to users, as verified users are considered to have more credibility and expertise in their respective areas.
Verified users are those who have been approved by Twitter and have a blue checkmark next to their name. This is usually given to public figures, politicians, journalists, and other well-known people.
Twitter has previously been criticized for recommending tweets that spread misinformation or conspiracy theories. By limiting recommendations to verified users, the company hopes to improve the overall quality of content on the platform.
It is unclear if the feature will be permanent or if it will be rolled out to all users. Twitter has not yet commented on the test.
