Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for content source verification and authentication using linked accounts. An authenticated group management system provides an improved approval process to create authenticated groups of linked accounts. In contrast to current systems in which a single gatekeeper reviews requests to add users to a group, the approval process utilized by the authenticated group management system enables each member of the authenticated group to review and respond to each request to add a prospective user. The more stringent approval process implemented by the authenticated group management system provides for a higher degree of authentication that each member of the authenticated group can be trusted, thereby increasing the security of content shared by the members of the authenticated group.
