Twitter has begun amending its messaging policy for Verified Accounts, allowing celebrities and brands to receive Direct Messages without having to follow the sender, it was revealed on Monday.

News came via Nabeel Ziyaan, who noticed that the requirement to follow a user to receive a Direct Message had now been removed:

Now, Twitter verified accounts {Brands} can let followers Direct Message without following back.

Ziyaan’s claim was backed up Indian mobile operator Tata DOCOMO, an alliance with Japanese telecom major NTT DOCOMO and the Tata Group. The company tweeted from its official account to alert its followers of the news:

Now to DM us all you need to do is follow @tatadocomo. No need for us to follow you first. Tested and its working.

The relaxation is aimed at providing Twitter users that have large follower counts with a private system with which they can receive a personal message without having to go through the tedious process of following the user, asking them to direct message them, and then unfollow the user after it has been sent.

Twitter has yet to announce the feature but it appears to have silently rolled out over the past few days. Fans of brands or celebrities will welcome the news but we aren’t so sure the celebrities or staff running these popular accounts will be happy to receive an incoming flood of personal messages.
