FACEBOOK INTRODUCE VERIFIED PROFILE AND PAGES

                   

 Facebook, been one of the most populated social site has introduced a security system of verifying the profile and pages of top celebrities, business and the high-profiled individuals on its social network.

The system of cloning the profile/pages of the high-profiled by illegal facebook users for personal gains has been rampant and this has hampered the facebook security and also the identity of the individuals that fall victims.

With the introduction of a custom verification badge similar to that used on twitter pages will be used to clarify the authenticity of a page of a specific business or celebrity. The custom verification badge entails a small, blue check marks which features beside the page name and will also pop up when the mouse hovers around it, in searches, stories about users liking a page in pages you may like suggestions and in news feed ads.

These verification process is to boost consumers confidence on the brands, business and individuals they deal with and it is been carried out internally by the facebook team without the consent of either the business page admin or individual.

Do you think this process would successfully curb cloning/duplication of high-profiled profiles/pages?
