07 September 2021
Some fans weren't sure which is the right account to follow, since ours isn't marked as verified. Here is what happened.

Hello GSMArena's Team!

I don't use Twitter but I have seen accounts with less than 1000 followers with the blue tick coz they are some Author, or some low level politician and what not. But I have never heard of these people. Anyways, as others said I check your website atleast once every 2-3 days, even if I had any social accounts I would still check your website!

If you want, I can help you take revenge on Twitter by terminating them from existence...FOREVER! 😈

    Does GSM Arena need twitter? Do still enjoy this website but the environment is always toxic, I know twitter has a bad reputation as well, I wonder though if this has something to do with this
    Just looking at T&C'S for posting comments and how often they are ignored.
    no foul language, be polite and use common sense
    No politics discussions.
    No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand
    No trolling - deliberately antagonizing other brand/model users

      B. Utts, 07 Sep 2021Most likely because they aren't bigoted racists?That's exactly why I think they should have one ...

        Ever since celebrities joined Twitter, that verification badge has been the source of ego for narcissistic people in that god awful website.

          Well, it is their platform and the have the right to do with it as the please. However, I am also entitled to my opinion and I believe they got this very wrong. Actually, Twitter seems to be getting a lot of things wrong lately. It's neutrality and objectivity has come into question. A case like this means these questions are well founded. If GSMA is not verifiable, who is? Some verified accounts one would ask why but then again we are not twitter. For independents (not US independents) like me, it plants serious doubts about the platform.

            theRajeshV, 07 Sep 2021Well, you do have too few followers and they were probably ... more152,000 followers are too few? Wow! How many does one need?

              Twitter verification is a joke anyways. No point in getting salty over it. Be PROUD you ain't verified. Probably means you got some spine left in you these days.

                By the way, thank you for the RSS feed :-)

                  No it's not... Ask the guy who made his first comment on the first video: Kyle Exum (he's verified)

                    The message is clear here : "we founded earlier than you so we dont care whats your requirement . You SHOULD give us verified status automatically without asking question."

                      Gee, I see why you weren't verified. You don't seem to fit into any categories that can be verified. Twitter verification criteria are rather weird, IMHO.

                          Your account it's not FB verified either, so actually you don't exist!

                            Twitter has a preference for ideological profiles that contribute to advancing its "progressive" agenda.

                            Left-biased accounts (regardless of the segment) have the verification cell IMMEDIATELY approved, even if they have few followers.

                                  Twitter is what happens when little kids becomes CEO. I'd still be happy if GSMArena didn't have an account there.

                                      Twitter is a recent toy of Big Brothers. (Or you may call it tool)
