Twitter either needs to use verified status for its intended purpose, or get rid of it. I am not aware of anyone who thought that verified status was an endorsement from Twitter.
- dragonwriter 9y agoHow is anyone but Twitter the judge of the “intended purpose” of a Twitter-created and -assigned label?
- Crontab 9y agoBecause of the plain english meaning of the word verified. They should have chosen a different word or phrase if they were seeking for it to mean something else.
- dragonwriter 9y agoYou seem to not be using the word “intended” with it's plain English meaning, using it instead to mean what on more common use of the language might be described as “externally perceived”. Which is ironic, given the subject of your criticism.
- ksk 9y agoProbably because "Hey! All you people ! Change your mind, you're wrong" doesn't seem to work when the group is sufficiently large.
