On Thursday, Twitter announced that they will be “pausing” their verification system to re-evaluate their process after coming under fire for verifying the account of Jason Kessler, the leader of Unite the Right and organizer of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August.

In a statement released on its Twitter Support account, the company said, “Verification was meant to authenticate identity & voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance. We recognize that we have created this confusion and need to resolve it. We have paused all general verifications while we work and will report back soon.”
