O Twitter will launch this week a new social network verification system. Contrary to what happened before, where verified pages were only entitled to a blue 'badge', the new system will have three different colors.
As Elon Musk tells on his page, the new verification system will have three colors: golden, Gray e azul🇧🇷 Pages with a gold 'badge' will belong to companies, gray will be assigned to governments and blue will continue to concern private individuals.
Sorry for the delay, we're tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week.
Gold check for companies, gray check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates.
Painful, but necessary.

BUT: Elon Musk considers reactivating suspended Twitter accounts
The owner of Twitter also said that this new system will be available this Friday, the December 2.
Remember that the verification system has been the subject of controversy since Elon Musk took control of Twitter. Once assigned according to the notoriety of some person/company, verification is now available to anyone willing to pay for it.
This decision by Musk made the businessman the target of strong criticism from Twitter users, also resulting in a series of fake pages belonging to well-known personalities and companies and the abandonment of multiple advertisers.
