"Verified" - it's supposed to mean that they have confirmed that the tweeter is in fact the person, but more and more it means that you haven't been contaminated with "wrong think".

It doesn’t mean anything useful. They’ve destroyed its usefulness by (a) allowing it to be given to non-celebrities or people for whom there may be actual confusion or imposters, (b) treating it like a status symbol and (c) taking it back or refusing to give it in the first place if they dislike the person. It was once a useful tool to understand if an account was legit where that might be in question and relevant to good communication. No more.

It is kind of a reverse yellow star, only the elite who follow the approved orthodoxy of political thought are allowed to have one.
