The blue check doesn't make sense to me.
There's tens of thousands of James Smiths in the US. Is James Smith #2825 the "real" one? Anyone with that name is technically the verified one. That's who they are.
If it's meant for public figures then why do a bunch of non-famous people in tech have blue checkmarks, especially if they have a very uncommon name?
