EXPLORE MORE Twitter users will soon need to be verified in order to use TweetDeck, the social media company said in a tweet on Monday. The change will take effect in 30 days, the company
said. Twitter made the announcement in a tweet detailing an improved version of TweetDeck with new features. It was unclear if Twitter will charge users for both the new and old version of
TweetDeck. Twitter did not immediately respond to request for comment. Charging for TweetDeck, which was previously free and is widely used by businesses and news organizations to easily
monitor content, could bring a revenue boost to Twitter, which has struggled to retain advertising revenue under billionaire Elon Musk’s ownership. The move comes just days after Musk said
that both verified and unverified users would have a limited number of posts they could read per day “to address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation.” His announcement
sparked a fierce backlash from users on Twitter, and ad experts said it would undermine new CEO Linda Yaccarino, who started in the role last month. Individuals must pay $8 per month to
verify their account, while organizations pay $1,000 per month.
