What if the 8 non-verified accounts are alt-accounts used by celebs/VIPs for personal communication?
Let us imagine that I am Jeff Bezos, why would I use my official account to DM people? I would rather use one where I look like everybody so that it is less likely to be the target of an attack.
- giarc 6y agoWould having access to the verified account somehow tell you what the alt account name is though?
- in_cahoots 6y agoIt’s definitely possible. Boy detection will use the number of accounts coming from a single source as a signal. High-profile alt accounts are probably whitelisted so they’re not flagged by accident.
