Twitter has said that it will be one part of the process and will be tested as an opt-in setting to begin with, allowing users to identify genuine accounts instead of bots. This badge will display in a similar manner to existing badges for automated accounts and government officials, sitting below the user's profile information instead of the coloured badge shown for verified users.
