The advancement of technology has enabled people to share their views and opinions via online social networks with family, friends, and the world at large. Despite other modes of communication such as “audio” and “video,” people prefer to express their emotions through “text” (the most common mode of communication) and “facial expressions.” The analysis and detection of emotions from texts are currently being studied by researchers across various fields. Emotion refers to the feeling or reaction towards a certain event or situation, e.g., “Happy“, “Sad“, “Suprise“, “Angry“, and “Fear“. Emotions and sentiments are commonly used as interchangeable terms; however, sentiments, in general, give the concept of the polarity of emotions such as positive, negative, and neutral. The positive polarity reflects favorable feelings toward an object, the negative polarity expresses unfavorable feelings, and the neutral polarity indicates no feelings.

Elon Musk mentioned in his recent tweet that they are planning to restart Twitter’s verified service with colored checks for individuals, businesses, and governments on Friday 2nd December. Earlier a botched first rollout resulted in an increase in users impersonating celebrities and brands on the network. Musk assigned colors to the categories on Friday: A Twitter gold check for companies, a grey for governments, and a blue check for people including celebrities. “Painful, but necessary.” Musk said, adding that verified accounts would be manually validated before a check is enabled.

For example, one user impersonating drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co tweeted that insulin would be free, causing the company’s stock to plummet and prompting them to issue an apology.
