This isn’t a general or global thing. I have yet to be told above in any place I’ve worked, and one place even asked people to write fake reviews on Trustpilot/job sites

Might be. It is definitely a thing, though.
When I used to work for a large American corporation that sold products to consumers, they took it extremely seriously and breaking it would result in disciplinary action. It probably had something to do with advertisement laws.

Oh I have no doubt about that - maybe there’s a story behind their strictness. Maybe the companies I’ve worked for have not yet had an employee publicly embarrass the company to such an extent, that they felt the need to make this a mandatory part of employee onboarding.
There was no top-down verification, but I worked with a few Grade A suck-ups, who would proudly volunteer information on which accounts they used and which posts were theirs. I kept politely ignoring the repeated verbal requests until management moved on to their next big obsession.
