Rethinking Twitter Verification

An Article by Terence Eden

The main problem, I think, is that no one knows what "Verified" means.

If I were in charge (which I'm not) there would be various types of ticks.

🤖 is a bot
🆔 proved their legal identity
🏭 is run by a brand
⚖ is run by a government department
👮 Official law enforcement
😎 Celebrity

And so on.
