Twitter’s verification system has yet again changed, as users began noticing yellow checkmarks appearing on the platform.

Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media giant, the plan was to force users to pay for verification through Twitter Blue. But the feature was quickly shut down after verified accounts began impersonating companies and political figures.

Twitter’s verification system was relaunched on Monday, featuring new checkmarks as part of the new Twitter Blue, including a yellow checkmark to represent businesses that have been verified by Twitter.

Twitter also announced that it would be rolling out a gray checkmark that was designed for “government and multilateral accounts.”

The new checkmarks are meant to make it clear whether an account has been verified by Twitter or not, and to make it difficult to impersonate companies or political figures.
