Bluesky receives Blue Checkmarks and an official check system
In the end, Bluski accepts an official verification system. In The company said it plans to provide blue checks to “authentic and remarkable” accounts. It will also allow some “reliable organizations” to check users.
Change is a remarkable change for the upstart platform, which has previously resisted the idea of ​​centralized inspection. So far, the company relies on a domain -based check system that allows users to change their handles to match the domains they are connected to. But this approach was They are too complex and offer insufficient protection against presentation.
These criticisms have only intensified as Bluesky grew popularity and attracted more consumers. For example, when former President Barack Obama has joined Bluski in recent weeks, his handle does not use a personalized domain, which understandably made many users question whether the account is authentic. Instead voucher that the account is legitimate
Under the new Bluesky system, the company will actively check certain accounts and add a prominent blue bookmark to their profile. It is unclear what criteria Bluesky will use for these badges or how he plans to check the identity of users. In addition, there will be a slightly different blue badge – one with “combs” – that some “reliable organizations” can provide a new “reliable check” feature.
The New York Times is such an organization and the newspaper will now be able to give blue checks to its journalists. Bluezki did not say what other organizations would be able to participate in the program, but added that it would review the third -party check to “ensure authenticity”.
In particular, Bluezki said that people and organizations are still “highly encouraged (d)” to be checked through a personalized domain. And it sounds that the new blue ticks may be in shortness, at least for a start. “During this initial phase, Bluezki does not accept direct check applications,” the company wrote in its message. “As this feature stabilizes, we will launch a request form for remarkable and authentic accounts interested in becoming verified or to become trusted checks.”
