   'Noteable' account verification on Bluesky uses Google Forms.

   So, get this. To receive one of these blue check things on #Bluesky 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.

     @AAKL

     Apparently the form asks for a picture of your official government ID.

     Folks, don't send Bluesky a photo of your official government ID.
