The organization has today confirmed that Facebook will now allow users behind single "high-range" accounts to validate their identity. Instead of users who conceal their identity, Facebook hopes that users will see authentic messages from people. This is followed by a related change two years ago, when, after several allegations of overseas web factories using partisan US politics, Facebook's viral post owners had to reveal their names and their locations.

Social network accounts with "inauthentic habits," which constantly have viral posts in the US, would have to have a form of recognition. Should the ID not match the identity of that account or if the user refuses verification of the ID, Facebook will reduce the number of people who see it pop up in the feed to the viral postings of that account. If any of these suspected profiles is also an administration of a Facebook page, the profile will be excluded from the Facebook Page Authorization Process, which was released in 2018 by the company.

These changes form part of Facebook's long-term effort to encourage people to use true identities, along with an effort to combat foreign government campaigns and general disinformation within the wider social media ecosystem. The tech giant would then be expanded in 2019, with political advertisers supplying more information, which now contains government-issued ID numbers before placing ads on the social network . In addition, political advertisers had to be provided with information to verify their identities. Facebook has already taken action in the middle of the pandemic to expose news reports offering false COVID-19 information.
