This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
First, I'm not going to give any social media my ID.
If someone intends to expose your ID to hackers due to Twitter's poor security performance, this presents a perfect occasion for them.
I don't know why these social media companies are so fixated on asking for personal information. And I'm sure this is just the beginning of Elon's grand plan.
Perhaps it's time to abandon Twitter and move to other fediverse or decentralised platforms? I would love to see a mass migration.
They're hilarious if they think they're getting my ID
Good thing nobody here where I live is using that shitty platform
Is it turning into a real porn site now?
Whaaaat. Is X a bank now? Why this kind of verification for a social media account? >___>
Not yet. But mysk has said he wants to make X like WeChat, which has payment and sending money as one of the key features.
phew
I mean... I kinda get the point of ID verified accounts. I would like to be able to tell if an account is not a bot with 100% accuracy or to filter out troll accounts. I would like the option to choose whenever I like between a "real" social network and a "more chaotic" social network. Although that shouldn't be the responsibility of the social network developer because the obvious trust issues but your ID issuer. (Usually your country/state) Maybe a network of state-operated fediverse servers? It is hard and dangerous but I believe the idea has its merits.
Edit: I knew it would be controversial but I am genuinely curious about the opinions against it instead of plain downvotes
