social media verification

Social media verification is a process used by platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to confirm the authenticity of accounts, particularly those of public figures, brands, and organizations. Verified accounts receive a checkmark or badge next to their names, indicating that the profile is genuine and not a fake or impersonator. This helps users easily identify trusted sources of information, reducing the risk of misinformation. To get verified, users typically need to meet specific criteria, such as having a complete profile and being notable in their field, while still adhering to the platform's guidelines.
