Good analysis from Frank Hecker on what happened with certificate authorities in the history of Mozilla, and subsequently, all major browsers, and thus what is likely to happen with the checkmark program at Bluesky. https://bsky.app/profile/frankhecker.com/post/3lnh7gslzsc22

My thoughts on Bluesky verification as someone who was deeply involved in an analogous scheme (selecting trusted root CAs for browsers) at Mozilla many years ago. The analogy is not exact: not trusting a verifier just means no checkmark, while not trusting a root CA means nasty security warnings 1/
