Since the verification process was restarted, Twitter has encountered some errors, forcing them to shut down the verification process.
The company then said it needed to improve both the application and verification process. The report says the micro-blogging site has been struggling with account verification for years.
Everyone thinks that the blue tick that was previously given for the accounts of celebrities and other big people should now be given to ordinary users as well. This includes Twitter handles of government officials, journalists, celebs, brands or businesses.
There have also been frequent errors from Twitter during the verification process. Twitter verified Jason Keller's account and gave him a blue tick.

Shortly afterwards, Twitter officially stopped verification, but quietly continued the verification process for certain individuals, including public sector dignitaries, elected candidates, government officials, journalists, and others.
