verified accounts

A verified account is a social media profile that has been authenticated by the platform as genuine and belonging to the individual or organization it claims to represent. This verification is often indicated by a badge or checkmark next to the account’s name. The purpose is to distinguish authentic accounts from impersonators or fake profiles, providing users with confidence in the authenticity of the content they see. Verification typically involves confirming identity through official documents or other trusted sources, especially for public figures, brands, or organizations.
