    Every individual false positive does several orders of magnitude more negative than positives of “not verified” fake links.

    It would be much less damaging to red flag questionable links (and remove clearly fake links as often as possible to avoid fatigue).

      And that’s when scammers/disinformation campaigns can really take advantage of this system.

      People are more likely to trust a “blue check mark”, so finding every way to trick the system into either giving one, or making it look like they have one will become a high priority.
