Twitter Inc’s “For You” feed, the default view for users of the social network, will no longer recommend content from accounts that aren’t verified, owner Elon Musk tweeted on Monday.
The change, effective April 15, will mean only verified accounts – those paying an US$8 (RM35) monthly fee or associated with a verified organisation – are eligible to have their tweets suggested in the timeline that appears when most users open the app. Voting in Twitter polls will also require verification, Musk added.
