    The issue is making that green check mark hard to fake for bad actors. Https works because it is verified by the browser itself, outside the display area of the page. Unless all sites begin relying on a media player packed into the browser itself, if the verification even appears to be part of the webpage, it could be faked.

      Hope verification gets built in to operating systems as compromised applications present a risk too.

      But I’m sure a crook would build a MAGA Verifier since you can’t trust liberal Apple/Microsoft technology.
