Facebook introduces celebrity account verification

The social network Facebook decided, apparently, to follow in the footsteps of its younger brother, the Twitter microblogging service, and introduced verification of accounts for celebrities. However, so far this procedure works only in test mode, and only for a limited number of people. Access to the verification procedure is possible only by invite. Probably, the administration of social affairs itself will decide who to invite, and who will remain unverified.



As far as one can understand, only users who have many subscribers will be invited to the test of the new service. Those. not just a lot, but a lot, as is usually the case with a celebrity. Once the account is verified, it will be able to appear more often in the line “people to subscribe to”.



It is worth noting that Twitter launched verification of accounts in 2009, and the social network from Google introduced this procedure almost immediately after launch. True, there are small differences. Facebook will allow verified accounts to use a nickname. Facebook’s usual policy is to use the full name, but of course, this rule is bypassed by many.

In order to verify your own account, you must send the ID of any document to the support. You can send, for example, ID of birthday certificate and credit card. Social data promises to erase these data after passing the verification procedure.
