Twitter will start tagging accounts maintained by high-ranking officials, government agencies, and government or government-related media accounts, their editors-in-chief and key representatives.
Special icons will appear next to such pages.
The corporation announced that it will focus on representatives from China, Russia, the United States, Great Britain and France.
This decision in the social network was explained by the fact that it will give users the opportunity to “make informed decisions”.
The accounts of the head of state and government will not be affected. An exception was made due to the fact that their owners are already widely known.
