I spent my afternoon walk today trying to figure out how today's Facebook "blue check" buffoonery could be real.
My conclusion: FB and Zuck are actually rolling out an age-verification product for the new age of censorship (like the Utah bill, and worse). Pay for this new FB service, then when you land on some random website with a FB referrer code or cookie, that website can rely on FB's age verification.
The "service" isn't a blue check. It's that FB will unlock the rest of the web for you.

@doncruse@appellate.social If that were the case, they wouldn't charge for it (at least not at first) because mass adoption would be far more important than any initial revenues.
