Hey reddit,

Feedback on this idea please. I want to build a "digital passport" page for the Internet.

People brands etc are on more and more platforms. Between fake accounts, fan pages, and name similarities, the need for a verified and unified online presence has become real.

What if I made a site that validated your ownership of your accounts - a verified and transparent page of your entire digital footprint?

In theory you could use this page anywhere you wanted to make sure people found the real you (e.g. in your bios, on your linktree, when doing brand deals, etc).

As an added benefit, I scan all your accounts and give you optimizations around how you link to and from accounts to drive more traffic to you, expose your content more efficiently, and make your online footprint look more professional.

Would you use this? Why or why not?

My question is does this already exist and if not, why not?

That sounds like it might be the next big thing for social media, I say do it!

This could be valuable for influencers. Both for brokering brand deals and displaying publicly. Have you got any feedback from them yet? I'd be interested to know what creators think.

LinkedIn just added a “verified” badge to profiles, to get it you’re required to scan your state ID/drivers license or passport, it then validates that you are real. This integration is with CLEAR, the same company that verifies identities/IDs for TSA and homeland security.

I think the idea makes a lot of sense, and idk how they plan to continue to expand, but the Linkedn integration leads me to believe they may be setting the stage to verify real accounts/people online before AI and deepfakes truly flood the internet

Blue checkmark for accounts, not a bad idea.

I think a data breach would make something like this be very dangerous is the issue
