What are the new types of Twitter badges and their roles?

 

Twitter badges are icons that appear next to a Twitter account's name and profile picture to indicate that the account is verified or has a special status. The purpose of these badges is to help users identify accounts that are authentic and of public interest, and to help users differentiate between official accounts and impersonators or fan accounts.

The most common type of Twitter badge is the blue verified badge, which indicates that an account has been verified by Twitter and that the account's authenticity has been confirmed. Other types of badges may indicate that an account is an "expert" in a particular field, a "fan account" of a celebrity or public figure, or an "official" government account.

1. Blue verified badge: This badge indicates that an account is verified by Twitter and that the account's authenticity has been confirmed. This badge is generally reserved for accounts that are of public interest.

2. Gray verified badge: This badge indicates that an account is an "expert" in a particular field. These accounts are typically associated with businesses, brands, or organizations.

3. Gold verified badge: This badge indicates that an account is a "fan account" of a particular celebrity or public figure. These accounts are typically run by fans of the celebrity or public figure.

4. Green verified badge: This badge indicates that an account is a "government account" or an "official account" of a particular government agency or organization.

It's important to note that Twitter badges are not available to all users and that the process for obtaining a badge can be difficult and competitive. Twitter has strict guidelines for verification and reserves the right to revoke a badge if an account violates its policies. Twitter has the ability to introduce new types of badges or change the roles of existing badges at any time, so there may be new types of badges that have been introduced since my knowledge cutoff date.
