Twitter has recently revoked the "blue badge" verification symbol from multiple accounts, including several government-related ones, due to a change in the company's policy. The policy now removes the badge from accounts verified under the previous system, and offers the blue badge for a subscription fee of $8 per month.

In addition, Twitter has taken away the blue badges from "state-owned media" and "government-funded media" accounts belonging to media organizations globally, according to Al Rai. Among the affected entities are all Kuwaiti ministries, with the exception of the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Electricity, who have opted to pay for the blue badge. The Government Communication Center in Kuwait, the Kuwait News Agency, and the majority of other government agencies have lost their blue badge verification status.
