Twitter has announced that users will now need to be verified to access TweetDeck, according to a recent tweet by the social media company. This change will be implemented in 30 days. TweetDeck, a tool that allows users to organize their Twitter accounts into columns for easier content monitoring, was previously available for free to all Twitter users.

The decision to charge for access to TweetDeck could potentially provide a much-needed revenue boost for Twitter. Since Elon Musk’s ownership, the company has faced challenges in retaining advertising revenue. TweetDeck is widely used by businesses and news organizations, making it a valuable tool for managing Twitter content efficiently, Reuters reported.

By introducing a verification requirement, Twitter aims to ensure a higher level of security and credibility for users utilizing the platform’s advanced features. Verified accounts have a blue badge that signifies their authenticity and trustworthiness. This step may also help mitigate issues related to spam and misinformation on the platform.

As the deadline approaches, Twitter users who regularly rely on TweetDeck for their social media management should make sure to complete the verification process to continue using this popular tool.
