If this sounds like an oddly specific question, let me explain.

I was in a Taylor Swift group and was asked to use the "selfie introduction" section to introduce myself. The idea of "selfie equals authentic person" seems to be hardwired into cultural consciousness. Not only are there ways someone might be able to fool that notion (with it going both ways, with people who took all the steps often being considered inauthentic anyways), but there are other ways to verify oneself. At least ten in fact, when I look them up (that always seems to come up first). Have you used any of these? Have you used any other ones? What have you done that hinted at your authenticity in an unconventional way?

Tf is that list about? Be arrested? Be sued? "Appear in a video logging on to your accounts"?

That list contains quite some things that identity thieves would love you to do.
