RE: Steemit Account Verification - Verifying Third Party Social Network Accounts and Websites

in #steemit8 years ago

Interesting idea but what would stop people from making fake social media accounts to get 'verified'? Some of these fake accounts are very well made, with myriad 'friends'. Folks would just see '4 verifications' and assume all are fully-functional Twitter, etc accounts confirming the author's identity.

Sort:  

I thought about giving the verification a percentage based on friend count, age of account, etc.. but if people create accounts such as you describe there isn't much you can do. People are going to try to game any system you throw at them. That is just a fact of life.
