Twitter issues verification deadline to Australian political advertisers
Social media service Twitter has launched its political campaigning policy in Australia ahead of the upcoming Federal election.
The service will require political parties, candidates and staffers advertising on the platform to be verified by Twitter by the middle of next month.
Political advertisers have been told by Twitter they must apply immediately for certification with enforcement of the policy beginning on the week of March 11. The Federal election is expected to be called for mid-May.
