It was a symbol of trust in identity, not trust in veracity. Same as SSL certificates.

- nradov 2y agoNah, it was never a symbol of trust in identity. A lot of those accounts were actually managed by social media staff, not by the "verified" people themselves. It was always just a meaningless vanity mark.
- LorenPechtel 2y agoIf the person chooses to have others manage it that's their business. That doesn't change the basic nature--it's saying this is who it claims it is. As someone described it: You know that https://www.satan.com https://www.satan.com is actually Satan but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to sell your soul there.
