Bluesky verification could look a lot different from X's blue checks

The rapidly growing social networking startup Bluesky, a Twitter/X alternative built on open web principles, revealed in a livestream on Monday how its approach to user account verification will differ from existing services, like Meta and X.

In addition, Bluesky tackles impersonation issues directly, as they arise.
