Twitter announced yesterday that it is implementing labels for automated, or bot accounts.<\/p>\n
The social media company is conducting an invitation-only test that will allow a small number of users to identify their automated accounts with the label.<\/p>\n
Automated accounts post information on Twitter automatically, and Twitter says<\/strong><\/a> they can bring a lot of value to the service by sharing vital information such as earthquake warnings.<\/p>\n These accounts will have an \u201cAutomated\u201d label appear under the name and handle on their profile page. The label will also appear on these accounts\u2019 tweets.<\/p>\n What’s a bot and what’s not? We’re making it easier to identify #GoodBots<\/a> and their automated Tweets with new labels.<\/p>\n Starting today, we\u2019re testing these labels to give you more context about who you’re interacting with on Twitter. pic.twitter.com\/gnN5jVU3pp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) September 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
