    Domains only help you verify organizations and individuals you recognize directly.

    This verification system also allows 3rd parties (it’s NOT just bluesky themselves!) to issue attestations that s given account belongs to who they say they are, which would help people like independent journalists, etc.

      Idk. Celebrities and Politicians usually have other vetted channels such as their own website or a website of their ogranization representing them. It should be basic journalistic work to see if their social media links link to the account in question or not.

        I’m not seeing the advantage of everyone having to do the same vetting process repeatedly.
