Feature suggestion: TL boost for new users who link established social media accounts

This looks like at least two different functions:

  1. User locality test
  • a local IP address
    • non mobile - not sure why mobile is an issue?
    • not a VPN
  • a work email address - further evidence of locality?
  1. Social media test
  • one or more linked social media profiles
    • longevity
    • friends

  1. Workplace locality test
  • a work email address
  • matching IP locality
