"When David Fahrenthold moved from The Washington Post to The New York Times, there wasn't really much question that his Twitter followers would follow him."

"On Bluesky, an account gets verified by connecting it to a web domain under the user's control... I put a little piece of code on that domain name, which I own."

"For news organizations - or any other online publisher... this means it's easy to skip past the spoofable @mynewsorgname.bsky.social and become @nytimes.com."

"A news organization can create a virtual subdomain at yourname.youremployer.com and use the same method to verify a reporter's account."
