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
