The “sanctioned by Twitter” badge already existed before this, it's called the verification checkmark. Many checkmarked accounts break twitter's rules on a daily basis, you can get away with almost anything if you're on the same side of the political spectrum as them.

Placement would also be an issue under such a scenario. Normally you would need to scroll a bit before seeing "ratios" and other stupid shit but now that's guaranteed to be above the fold. Presumably this will also work if I've chosen to restrict replies.
