What makes the Blue checkmark unlike any other product/Service we opt in to buy? Genuinely curious.

When you buy a car, no one can restrict your use of the car for expressing views counter to the mainstream narrative.

That is, until you get an EV with remote reboot & shutdown functions 😉

Now sure how that is relevant to the Blue check mark specifically. This seems more like a social media thing in general

If you are using a product or a service from another company, they do have restrictions that effect the public image of that company.

Example, when you rent a scooter, they do try to limit your scooter speed and where it can go and where it can be parked. And that’s for a plethora of reasons, related to your safety and their operating model.

It’s not like when you rent the scooter, you have full control on what you can do with it.

I understand your point of view, but really, that’s not a public space, even if you believe it is.

Hey, I don’t like Twitter either, but I would appreciate our arguments to be 100% logical, otherwise they can be disputed.

If we want to just public shame the company and sensor it, how are we different than what they are doing?

I just answered the question you posted. You asked how the blue check is different than other products. A car is a product. If someone used the car to kill people they wouldn’t blame Toyota for it.
