SwellWall isn't smart enough or clever enough to come up with such a subtle but meaningful change. I mean really would your mother have noticed that little blue mark and realized what it meant? It's a subliminal. I'm a social media producer and my eyes blew right past it even though in the back of my mind it gave the "tweet" credibility. That was done by someone with YEARS of social media manipulation in their pocket. They knew people would just accept it and it would lend credence to the graphic. Of course now knowing that it was FAKE, I wonder what else they fabricated.
If that isn't giving false testimony before congress after being sworn in ... Lock them all up I say!
Well said and I agree 100%. From what I understand, to be verified (blue check) you need a substantial number of followers. That is where the credibility comes from. Like you, I wouldn’t notice something like that because I don’t give a damn about the number of followers someone has or if they have a blue check after their name.
