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.
We’re going to find out in a few years that some congressman’s son or a defense contractor or whatever founded all these “ID verify” systems that are worse than nothing. State IDs will be useless in a few years after the 500th data breach and kids will be j/o to porn their ancestors couldn’t even imagine.

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

community notes mention this will be a feature of X premium.
X.
premium.
It's just the first step before TwitterX turns into an "everything" app.
They're really struggling with this whole "verification" thing. Maybe getting rid of verification on the first place just to sell an emoji next to people's name was a bad idea in the first place!
I figured major websites would start doing something like this sooner or later.
And no one is going to oppose it either, just roll over and take it, and bully their relatives and friend into blindly going along with it, too.
My expectations were low, but holy shit.
Cmon! Why people are still using it?
I mean, I never used Twitter in the first place so I'm not the target audience; but this would be a hard pass for me.
