Well let’s see what Twitter says about their new blue program

- gpm 3y agoIf you're running an article on how Elon is changing twitter into a disinformation machine, the fact that they're verifying deceptive accounts would be relevant. If you're running an article on how the India ruling party used AI to paint protestors in a false light, it isn't relevant. Worse bringing attention to it like this could give less-informed readers the false impression that "verified" actually meant something like "verified by the government".
