Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter
Hahaha what the fuck
If this is used for account verification and paid “verification” will be removed, then do not see any issue here.

It was so difficult to use for a long time, I only ever used it for breaking news. Then I finally found internet creators I liked enough to follow, maybe a few joke accounts. That only lasted for maybe a year and then Elon took over and it’s not worth downloading the app for anymore. Way too many right-wing conspiracy guys now.
It’s just the first step before TwitterX turns into an “everything” app.
Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.
Elon has the vibe of someone who likes low budget TV shows now that you mention it.
Hey there’s nothing wrong with low budget tv shows! You can’t take my early seasons of Stargate SG-1 from me like that
There are some gems hidden in the rubble. But one probably wouldn’t say they’re good because they’re low budget.
Ahh I see what you mean, yeah that’s true
Ah yes, just take a photo of your id. Surely X can be trusted, right… right guys?
Sure it can. Just wait 'til it also becomes your banking app, keeping your money totally safe, then you’ll be able to double trust it. Would space karen x ever lie to anyone? /s
Of course she wouldn’t lie to anyone. Just wait 'til your totally safely kept money becomes programmable by central banks, regulating where you can spend it, when you can spend it, what you can spend it on, and builds a neat profile of yourself linking every single activity you do, online and offline. We wouldn’t want any terrorists or bad citizens to be out there now, would we? /s
If they ever have a data breach I’m sure they’ll totally do right by the consumer also 🙄
Wouldn’t trust this clown with my digital words, let alone a copy of my actual ID
I’m sure they would offer 6 months of free credit screening as a consolation like all the other companies do. Just enter your social security number so they know what to look out for.

That’s gonna be one big juicy database of potential insurrectionists though.
Well in Twitter’s defence; how else are they going to know you actually are who you claim to be? Atleast that what used to be the meaning of the blue checkmark.
Still not worth using slurs
As long as using words idiot, imbecille and moron are okay then retard is okay too. You don’t just get to arbitrarily pick random words and make them forbidden.

Nobody, absolutely nobody should trust that idiot with your ID.
Guessing, millions of people will feel obligated to share their ID. Not everyone can be saved
Ironically, it’s going to be a bunch of “libertarian” tech bros who use crypto for “privacy” who will be the first to give Musk (and by proxy every world government) their ID.
Probably most monero users dont use kyc exchanges so i dont think they will use kyc twitter let alone the first ones. This may kill twitter, but there is lots of stupid out there like those crypto and bitcoin users lol so you never know.
Instructions unclear. Uploaded my social security card and DNA samples.
I would trust pornhub with my ID more than I’d trust that asshat with it.
They’d at least understand the need for privacy
It’s not about trusting some idiot. It’s about attaching your identity to your activities online. I remember when these websites used to advise against doxing yourself.
I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don’t want to do it, just don’t.
I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though…
It has already happened before. It will happen again.
It’s not technically hacking when Elon leaves the door open after slamming his dick in it.
Then swatting opponents will be much easier
Yeah. I’d rather hand it over to the weird guy at the bus stop. At least he’s not a billionaire douche bag.
It feels like even random software crackers are safer than Elon
Meth addicted inbred sociopathic hamster human hybrids are safer than Elon.

Many will just go along with this bollocks…🤦🏻♂️
Very interested to see how the “small government” crowd deals with this.
🍿
Didn’t voat or truth social or something require IDs and the idiots all flocked to it?
I think that was Parler for the whole 3 mooches it was a thing.
Glad mooch remains a unit of measurement.
Dunno about the others, but I specifically remember Parler required users to attach their IDs to their profiles if they wanted to be verified.
As one of the “small government” crowd I’m not trusting that douchebag with my information.
They’re probably just using some third-party software specialised in KYC…
Shouldn’t trust Twitter users either, they’ll take an out of context joke you made back in 2011 and ruin your life over it.
Honestly, just fuck talking to people online. Literal no good will ever come of it. I’m just gonna stop communicating with people.
This shit is so dumb, no upside, only downsides
Ackshually, it’s upvotes and downvotes ☝️🤓
bruh lololol
He’s gonna dox all the liberals/lefties. Wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t the original plan.
And journalists if they report on him negatively, or oppose his Russian “peace” talk suggestions, even if it puts their career in danger where they live. Peak freedom of speech absolutism!
If you always wanted to leak your ID to a bunch of hackers thanks to poor security practices, this is a great opportunity for you to do so

Nah, his entire goal was to take something away from the woke liberals and journalists and make it a Safe Space for fascist snowflakes.
then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal
Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don’t have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.
He was actually forced to buy it after suggesting it
But the point remains that doing nothing would have brought more value so I agree that he isn’t trying to recoup lost money here
Yeah he probably is just playing with his new toy
But then he wouldn’t be able to use it to influence the US presidential election.
or everyone could recognize that he is far more malevolent toward you than any hacker could possibly be, but yeah, they definitely have no security that worries about YOUR data
Nothing the credit agencies don’t already leak every year or two…
There is absolutely 0 chance I’m sending any documents to the clown in chief
The chief twit.
can i just draw an ID in crayon and send in a selfie of me wearing my sick shades and an N95 mask?

But what about Elon?
There is absolutely 0 chance I’m sending any documents to the clown in chief
a clown has to make people laugh. it’s a tough job.
imagine elonMusk trying to please people!
Don’t worry… they are probably going to a “trusted” 3rd party service ;-)
It’s right in the fine print. “Au10tix”, lmao.
Identity theft as a service… IDaS?
Do we pronounce it Eye-Dass, or can we get away with ID-Ass here ;-)
Of course there’s an X in the name
elons going to be running X like the hudson construction company
LOL, literally speedrunning Twitter’s bankruptcy.
I have a thought that I can’t let go, that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.
Not something I strongly belief but a small thought that keeps returning.
didn’t he try not to buy it and was forced by a court decision?
thinking that he is evil is to overrate elonMusk.
He thought he could do whatever he wants and whenever. Laws were there to remind him that his statements had consequences for him.
he is just making one decision after another.
If he actually bought it to close the gates of hell then I’ll have to respect him for that
I have a thought that I can’t let go,
It’s going to be some batshit crazy idea that Elon makes bad decisions on purpose isn’t it?
that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.
sigh, there it is.
Every time I think “wow Twitter isn’t dead yet?”, Elon just goes “bet” and introduces another terrible idea.
Send Melon your drivers license so he can remotely disable the brakes on your Tesla if you’re mean to him on “X”
