Explore a comprehensive conference talk from USENIX Security '23 that delves into user perceptions of social media account verification and the impact of paid enrollment. Examine the findings of a two-part study consisting of a user survey and measurement of verified Twitter accounts. Discover how users misunderstand verification criteria, particularly for Twitter's new gold and gray check indicators. Learn about the correlation between age, digital literacy, and understanding of verification processes. Analyze the longitudinal dataset of 2.85 million Twitter accounts to identify trends in accounts gaining or losing verification status following platform changes. Gain insights into the disproportionate verification of accounts posting conservative political content, expressing positive views about Elon Musk, and promoting cryptocurrencies. Conclude with recommendations for improving account verification indicators and processes on social media platforms.
