“Any Twitter accounts that impersonate others in the future without explicitly stating that they are parodying someone else will be permanently suspended.
“In the past, we would offer a notice prior to suspension; but, now that we are implementing extensive verification, there won’t be a warning.
“This will be made very evident as a requirement for signing up to Twitter Blue.”
