'Verified' Is Now a Derogatory Term on Twitter (theoutline.com)
From an article on The Outline: Since 2009, Twitter has added a blue checkmark symbol to certain accounts that have been deemed "verified," which means "that an account of public interest is authentic," according to Twitter. For some, the verified distinction is coveted. For others, it's become a dirty word. "Verifieds" or "blue checks" are the elite, the establishment. Since many members of the media are verified, they have also become associated, for some, with the perceived liberal bias of the fourth estate. Conservatives, alt-righters, and Donald Trump fans have noticed that when Trump tweets, there is invariably a flood of "blue check liberals" responding in a negative way. There is also the perception that Twitter, a California company, is biased toward liberals. Also, according to Twitter, there are now about 250,000 people who're verified on the site, some of which are for unknown reasons.
@realDonaldTrump is a blue check. What more do you need?
... low numbers on Slashdot are not to be trusted.
I mean, come on, who would want to DRINK POO? Waiting. Waiting. Ah, yes, there is only one answer. Martin Espinoza is a RETARD.
For some reason, this comment may or may not be modded down by some racist that disagrees with me.
However that is why you insinuated. Like it or not . You can't say people see things that aren't there. But nobody will ever come to the conclusion of what he said based on your words.
