And how does the average user know this?

[unleaded]

By clicking on it

Clicking on any blue check mark shows "this account is verified". But that isn't supposed to mean verified?

This is what it says when I click on it.

> This account is verified because it is a government or multilateral organization account.

Right, but I think paxys’ point is that the message you get when you click a blue check also implies the account is verified (which is not true in any rigorous sense of the word “verified”). The average user can’t be expected to know that the white one is “more verified” when they both say “verified”.
