Twitter identifies automated accounts or ‘bots’ that publish on the social network


Label reporting an automated account – TWITTER SUPPORT


MADRID, 10 Sep. (Portaltic/EP) –

Twitter has incorporated to the social network the tags that identify the automated accounts that are useful for users, in order to provide more context on who they are actually interacting with.

The company reported in May of the new measures that it was going to implement to verify the identity of the accounts that intervene in the public conversation and offer additional information about them, and that included the ‘bots’, or automated accounts, that are useful for the users.

These accounts, which Twitter has referred to as “good bots” on your Support profile, have begun to identify themselves with a label, in which it is seen a gray robot icon, the word “automated” and who runs it.

The label is displayed both in the account profile and in the publications that you share, so it is always clear that this is automated content.

At the moment, and as they explain from Twitter, it is about a test who have started with a few accounts, but the ability to add that tag will be available soon.
