Twitter revokes verification badges from offensive accounts (CNET News)

They should've called it "ID Confirmation". That way it'd be clearer that its sole purpose was to make sure that an account was being used by the person they claimed to be.

It's funny how people get mad that a company treats them differently on their platform. They could delete you if they want you know, they don't have to give you a reason. Feel free to make your own internet platform.

I assumed that being verified meant that I was receiving a tweet from an authentic person, celebrity, or elected official! Nothing more.

Meanwhile ISIS still have blue badge, just WOW

I hope they take away the verification status for accounts promoting porn.

It’s not an endorsement. It simply verifies that the person is who they say they are.

There is no such thing as 'hate' speech. There is speech someone finds offensive or disagrees with, and that's all. Do you know what happens when you get offended? Nothing. Nothing happens.

Twitter should have just classified what verification was instead of caving int9 social justice warriors

no more trump's bullshitting, offensive, trouble making tweets.

I’d rather live in a world governed by political correctness than by incorrectness. I’ll take correct policy any day.
