    What’s stopping someone from printing a fake ID on paper? Also would a printed photo pass the “selfie” test?

      This kind of verification usually works by the user being visible on camera and holding their ID up to the camera, turning it in multiple directions to show its safety features.

    Well, if I hadn’t dropped twitter when they called the CBC state run media, I would have over this.

    Looking forward to the inevitable massive data breach.

      Providing this info in the first place is the data breach… 🥴

      it’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

      Will be even more interesting when they inevitably hold the data for longer than the 30 days

    If this is used for account verification and paid “verification” will be removed, then do not see any issue here.

    Alright alright, I get the bandwagon hate for Elon. But think of it this way. ID verification would reduce bots and malicious accounts that are used for “grass roots” advertising or to swing political elections

    It’s just the first step before TwitterX turns into an “everything” app.

    Too bad Twitter didn’t already have a fully-functional identity verification system 6 months ago, which didn’t require the exposure of any sensitive PII. Would be crazy if that had been a thing, eh?

    I’ve made a mistake by trying to restore a old Facebook account that I wanted to “delete”, I even attempted it on two occasions, of course they demand an ID picture but their website is horrible with the phone camera so the pics always came out blurry so they always refused them.

    Never again.
