'Noteable' account verification on Bluesky uses Google Forms.

So, get this. To receive one of these blue check things on you need a Google account and must submit your personal information using a Google Form.

Kinda feel like asking millions of people to send you personal info over Google Forms may not be the most privacy aware or well thought out way to go.

Now, we're introducing a new layer — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. Bluesky will proactively verify authentic and notable accounts and display a blue check next to their names. Additionally, through our Trusted Verifiers feature, select independent organizations can verify accounts directly. Bluesky will review these verifications as well to ensure authenticity. To apply for verification or to be a Trusted Verifier, please fill out this form.
