What makes these companies "public utilities" as opposed to others? I don't need Twitter in my life. Nor Google. Definitely not Facebook. And maybe lots of web sites use CloudFlare, but consumers don't interact directl

The easy way around this as a scammer is to have the reference material visible beside the screen. I suspect it's another layer to augment existing verification checks. I do wonder about the false negative rate.
