@rst @dangillmor It should NOT be a problem for media entities because their website/IT personnel should handle adding the code to the business's site.

Take either NYT or WaPo journalists — if their personnel Mastodon accounts are verified on NYTimes.com or WashingtonPost.com, it is only because authorized personnel with access to those sites' code have added the verification coding.

If anything, the verification process should encourage media outlets to run their own instances.
