How
Hooyu
Or develop internally?
How would this help?
• Increase confidence interacting with a real human with a
real name

• Decrease worry that someone will mistake a fake account
for their real account (or non-existent account)

• May decrease emotional attacks, as it’s harder to attack
when our real name is attached to it
Why would Twitter do this?
• Keep anonymity on platform — save face

• Protect users from pain of impersonation

• Avoid legal issues related to impersonation/identity theft

• Save their business? Charge maybe $10/year to be
verified and/or interact with only verified users
