On Twitter, you can make sure that celebrities or popular people are really controlling accounts through verification checkmarks. Now the same feature is available on Facebook. The social network announced Wednesday that pages that are really run by highly followed people will come with marks of verification. Unlike the hoax uncovered Tuesday, this is legitimate.
Verification badges will appear:
- Next to the name of the page
- When hovering over the name of a page
- In Graph Search queries
- In stories about people liking a page
- In News Feed ads for your page
While this feature will initially be rolled out to celebrity and public figure pages, it will later be applied to personal profiles. Users cannot ask to be verified. Facebook will bestow verification upon highly followed pages and people.
Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s personal profile page has received the verification stamp, showing what it will look like on Timeline pages:
