Bluesky Launches Verification Program for User Authentication

Bluesky Launches Verification Program for User Authentication

Bluesky, a social media site, is letting users prove they are who they say they are.

They're using a system like the old Twitter verification badges, but trying to do it better.

Users can apply for a badge, and some organizations can help verify people.

To get verified, you need to be a real person or a real business.

It's not yet clear what is considered 'notable.'

Some people worry that it will become like Twitter's old system, where verified users are treated differently, while others think it is a good idea.
