[BUG] Hacked account showing as Verified #113

Open Sgeo opened 1 year ago

Sgeo commented 1 year ago

Info (please complete the following information):

What happened Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to twitter.com/alandavies1, observe that it is a scam and that it is "verified"
  2. Go to https://twitter.com/RealDMitchell/status/1679405429149843458, see David Mitchell talking about alandavies1 being hacked.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Expected behavior Hacked accounts should not be verified

Additional context It really shouldn't be this extension's role to monitor for problems with verified accounts, it's Twitter's role. But that's not a thing anymore. So an account that used to be "verified" and which this extension shows as verified no longer is.

I don't know what should be done about this. Whose job it would be to determine if an account should be removed from the list.
