Twitter To Ban Handles That Impersonate Without Specifying “Parody”

Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.

This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.

Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark
