New Bluesky app has come to trouble X, give users a blue tick for free, and will also curb fake news

There has been another new turn in the world of social media. Bluesky, a platform that came to compete with X (formerly Twitter), has finally launched its blue check verification feature. Now the question arises, is this a free version of X's blue subscription? Let's know about it in detail.

The blue tick on Bluesky will prove that the account is real. That is, if you are on the page of a company, public figure, or any organization and a blue check is visible there, then understand that it is official.

Today, accounts can be made fake at the snap of a finger. Anyone can start a profile with a photo of a celebrity or by taking the name of a large or multinational company. In this kind of situation, usual users would not be able to identify whether a profile is real or fake. This blue tick of Bluesky will ease that.

Currently, Bluesky has indicated that new accounts are not getting verified at the moment. But in the near future, this feature will be initiated to all users.

The company is currently collaborating with some of the selected agencies and companies. These agencies and companies are able to authenticate the accounts of their workers. For instance, if a media outlet gets the members of its PR department authenticated, then the blue tick will begin to show on its profile.

Currently, to get a blue check on X (earlier Twitter), one has to take a monthly or annual subscription. But in Bluesky's new system, no charge will be taken. That is, verification will be free, which is a matter of relief for the users.

Bluesky also said that their moderation team will check every verification. It will be checked whether the account is real or not, whether the name is correct or not, and whether the information given is authentic or not.

This system will be able to control fake news, incorrect information, and scam profiles to a great extent. Because now no one will be able to easily steal someone's name and identity by creating a fake profile. Today, when it is becoming difficult to trust social media, this step of Bluesky can be called the right step towards a transparent and trustworthy digital space.
