I thought X’s blue checks were bad enough, but Meta has topped (or bottomed) Elon in the realm of meaningless identity verification.
The janeaustenpen Instagram account is Meta verified.

Even though Jane Austen is dead.
Come to think of it, Austen never had a driver’s license. How did she get verified?
But Meta’s AI creation isn’t dead.
And you can’t block “her.”
And probably can’t report “her” for impersonation.
I really dread what LinkedIn is planning. Will Henry Ford dispense advice? Steve Jobs?
