📲 Blue tick matters

Editor's Note

Dear Geek,

The recent trend of social media platforms introducing verified accounts has sparked much discussion, and Meta has joined in by announcing a verified account system for both Facebook and Instagram.

The urge for verified accounts raises important questions about the role and responsibility of these platforms in ensuring the precision and credibility of information shared online.

In the last edition of iGeeksBlog+, we mistakenly sent out the newsletter in a team member's name. It might have confused many of you, and we apologize for the same. However, it further highlights the importance of accuracy and trustworthiness in online communication.

That minor glitch aside, you can trust us to bring you the best and latest in tech. Happy reading!
