Has anyone else seen any others?
UPDATE: so apparently the globe icon is real and denotes a “translator” account. But it seems that this is being abused here. These are not translating accounts. They are transmitting content in the name of the accounts they are obviously trying to get mistaken for.

This is not a fake verified account. The accounts have been translating Twitter documentary into foreign languages, hence the globe next to their names.
