LinkedIn has stopped keeping the current verification system limited to its own platform. Introduced in 2023, this system offered the opportunity to verify identity, business history or educational information with official documents. Now this verification is made in digital environments outside LinkedIn. Thus, the reliable profiles of users become well -known on different platforms.
The company’s starting to share this verification system with other platforms points to a significant expansion in digital security. This process, which first started with Adobe, is a harbinger of new collaborations. Adobe has integrated the Verification of LinkedIn into both the new Content Authenticity application and the Behance platform. Thus, the content producers who have confirmed their identity via LinkedIn can carry the badge in Behance profiles “confirmed in LinkedIn”.
LinkedIn aims to rebuild the sense of trust
Verification is not only visible, but also provides transparency of the source of shared content. When Adobe’s digital conting credentals shares their content through LinkedIn, it is also documented who is created. This system also contributes to preserving the originality of visual or textual content. Thus, not only identity, but also content security is based on solid foundations.
Oscar Rodriguez, LinkedIn’s Vice President in charge of Trust, considers this development as an important step taken at a time when false identities increased. Rodriguez pointed out that looking like someone else on the Internet has become both cheaper and more convincing, and says that platforms have to produce new solutions against this threat. Emphasizing that trust is the cornerstone of LinkedIn, the explanations give clues that the system will be further expanded. This step is considered an effort to rebuild the sense of trust in the digital world.
Following Adobe, institutional platforms such as Trustradius, G2 and Ussertesting began to integrate the LinkedIn verification system. Thus, not only individual users, but also companies can present the reliability of their employees more visible. In the business world, the accuracy of identity and past knowledge is seen as a decisive element for many business processes. Such verification systems contribute to the establishment of mutual trust, especially in digital business environments.
In addition, the fact that the verification system becomes visible on different platforms directly affects the user experience. Especially for content producers, it is now even more important to offer reliable identity on different platforms. In the digital environment where counterfeit accounts increase, it is of great importance to distinguish the content of real people. With this system, users can see more clearly who produces what.
It is seen that social media platforms are directed towards similar verification attempts. Bluesky, the decentralized social network, recently activated its own verification system. This system reminiscent of the old application of Twitter by offering a blue tic -like badge to “real and well -known” accounts. Twitter’s verification system is now specially for paid X Premium subscribers.
Although verification systems vary from the platform to the platform, the main purpose is to provide safe digital identity. This step of LinkedIn brings individuals’ visibility in the digital world to a more solid ground. The increase in confirmed profiles creates an advantage for both visibility and reliability for content producers and professionals. Thus, users can attract attention not only with their content but also with their identities.
