Following in the footsteps of Twitter, the giants of social media Facebook announced a new feature "verified" to pages and profiles. These pages are checked first being deployed to a small group of high profile users like celebrities, journalists, government officials, brands and businesses, but will also be available for profiles at a later stage.
The movement will try to fight against fake multiple profiles that appear to actors, singers and other celebrities with accounts at least a hundred of 'Justin Bieber' there on time today, with more than a few pretending be 'checked official'.The Facebook pages show a blue tick check next to the name of the page, indicating that the person or company is genuine. When you hover over the icon of the tick, you are told more about the audit. This will bring not only on the page itself, but also in the search results, and through Facebook.
Have adding verified accounts is a great way to show both the authority and authenticity on Facebook - there are so many fake accounts online, knowing that you have found the true is always positive. As on Twitter, you can not ask to be verified by Facebook. If Facebook think that checking your page is required, then they will contact you.
This is not the first attempt by Facebook to suppress fake profiles. Back in February 2012, they introduced a motion that allowed people to check their accounts with a valid ID. This allowed users, mostly celebrities, to have nicknames or pseudonyms instead of their real name posted on their page without losing their ranking in the Facebook search results. This first attempt to audit the fans well in connection with authentic accounts of celebrities, but unlike the new version included no public sign.
Whether you are a celebrity want to keep your account yourself, or fan trying to avoid falling for a fake title, the Internet is a concern for us all. Having the new verification process in place on Facebook should everyone know that the account is legitimate and trustworthy. If you are aware of protecting the online identity, a way to safety is to use a VPN service. A VPN provides an additional layer of security to your connection when using online services to help keep your personal data secure and private.
