Nima Owji, an app researcher, has said twitter is making its new “Verification for Organizations” program available to businesses around the world in an attempt to expand the focus of its updated verification system.

According to a tweet on his twitter handle @Nima_Owji, “Twitter is making the Verified Organizations available globally. You won’t have to wait to be accepted. This is its introduction screen! It includes features like Premium Support, Impersonation Defense, and more.”

Based on the program’s original announcement in December, Twitter Verification for Organizations allows an organization to link any number of their affiliated individuals, businesses and brands to their account.

When they do, affiliated accounts get a small badge of their parent company’s profile picture next to their blue or gold checkmark.

Based on the updated feature list posted by Owji, organizations are now able to identify the personal accounts of employees, which will subscribe them automatically to Twitter Blue and give them a brand icon attached to their username.

Organizations’ affiliated accounts will be listed on the brand profile and will be removed when they no longer work for the organization; their blue checkmark will also be stripped.

To maintain verification legitimacy and provide enhanced assistance, Twitter says it will flag any impersonator accounts while offering priority support to verified organizations.

The price of the feature is high. Twitter has set a price of $50 a month per affiliated account on top of the already controversial monthly $1000 up-charge.
Musk’s original plan for Twitter Blue subscriptions to deliver 50% of its revenue has flopped, as the platform would need around 24 million people to join, while only 600 thousand are currently subscribed globally.
