I understand what you are saying. Verification is just about identity - it’s not validation.

Except it’s about validation on one very basic level. I’ve seen the inside of large social media moderation operations and you are missing one thing. These companies will not verify an account for The Islamic State, no matter how readily they can prove that they are who they say they are. They will not just sit there as a neutral party and say Osama Bin Laden? Looks real to me! They will ban and block and log and report.

ICE are in open warfare against American civilians and BlueSky just said “yep your id checks out.” They could have said “we will not be a megaphone for a rogue agency waging war on Minneapolis.” As for gathering evidence to hang them with later… their BlueSky tweets are not going to add much to the video footage we have of them killing people in the streets.

Nazis and their allies should not have a platform.

When blueksy verifies them, it tells you that bluesky is aware of their presence on their (private, centralized) platform and accepts it.

Thus, the verification requires allowing them to have a platform.

Since they should not have a platform, they should not be verified.

And you can go see what they say there, you don't invite them into your house to do it.

You don't block Nazis on the system you own, you ban them outright.

These people are responsible for the death and murder of many and your response is to pretend they're not there next to you and let them spread their propaganda?? What the fuck is wrong with you.

Any no government entity refusing to enable them is good.
