Twitter has introduced a new feature, allowing users in India to mark their accounts as having a confirmed phone number. But will this feature be able to differentiate between authentic users and bots?
What Happened: Once users activate this setting, a "confirmed phone number mark" will be displayed on their profiles. This mark will only be visible to users in India who are logged in. Activating the mark will also let other users know that the account belongs to someone in India.

Why It's Important: Before Elon Musk took over Twitter, he promised that if the bid he led succeeded, "we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!"
In May, Musk also said bot representation is not accurate in Twitter's public filings.
Last year, Twitter rolled out a feature that allowed accounts on the platform to be identified as the "good bots."
