Facebook has officially verified a page run by the Illuminati. The social network's 'blue tick' verification is normally reserved for official celebrity and brand pages.


However,  Facebook have chosen to endorse the Illuminati page, which has over 380,000 likes and boasts in its page description: 'We are always watching out for you.'

The Facebook page announced its verified status to members over the weekend.

'The Illuminati is grateful for Facebook's dedication to our goals,' it said. Many pages claim to represent us but are not authorised by our organisation.'
