  Did it ever mean they could be trusted though? I think it’s healthy for everyone to distrust any and all tweets.

    In terms of factual information, no; in terms of identity verification, most could be trusted.

    The person behind the checkmark was a real person/entity and whatever they said, true or disinformation - they owned it. That is the difference. If Candice Owens had said something detestable, at least I knew that I was being triggered by the actual troll.
