Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter
Lol, no thanks.

Lets everyone else know how hard you’re being exploited by the platform ✅
Don’t do this. Delete your Xitter account and use Mastodon instead.
Man I never had a Twitter account to begin with, lol. Any Internet site that wants my ID can eat a dick instead because I will straight-up close that tab and 360 moonwalk right out the door.
- While “Safety Dance” plays faintly in the background.
Xitler?
I got a mastodon, but there’s nothing there.
do what i did: bring your friends :>
Friends?
you know, those guys who like and retweet each other.
I don’t have those.
Do you mean nothing as in your feed has barely any posts? Or nothing as is there’s no one interesting to follow?
Give it time. With both Xitter and reddit trying to kill themselves, and Threads dead on arrival, adoption of both Lemmy and Mastodon is going up.
You have to work to populate it.
This is the right answer.
Xitter
In my head that’s pronounced “shitter”
That is indeed my intent.
I’m seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.
Literally 1984
Not really. Literally 1984 would be mass surveillance, even inside your home, media everywhere, rewriting history. Some US states start to fit this.
No it’s 2023.

you sure do hope
Have you read that book? Because it sounds like you haven’t…
I’m assuming this is only for blue checks. This is too big of a PITA for ordinary users. They’ll just log out and go somewhere else.
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.
Exciting times for hackers !
Instagram wanted similar for me to “reactivate your account after not logging in for an extended period of time”
Nope, Instagram is not that important to me. Fuck you Zuckerberg.
community notes mention this will be a feature of X premium.
X.
premium.
Send Melon your drivers license so he can remotely disable the brakes on your Tesla if you’re mean to him on “X”

I always figured we’d end up with a forum like the one from ender’s game. sucks tho.
never elon
Normalizing proving who you are to random online companies. I can’t see how this could backfire.
Nobody, absolutely nobody should trust that idiot with your ID.
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.
Then swatting opponents will be much easier
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’s not technically hacking when Elon leaves the door open after slamming his dick in it.
It has already happened before. It will happen again.
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
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

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.
But then he wouldn’t be able to use it to influence the US presidential election.
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
Nah, his entire goal was to take something away from the woke liberals and journalists and make it a Safe Space for fascist snowflakes.
Nothing the credit agencies don’t already leak every year or two…
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
They’re probably just using some third-party software specialised in KYC…
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.

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!
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?
Dunno about the others, but I specifically remember Parler required users to attach their IDs to their profiles if they wanted to be verified.
I think that was Parler for the whole 3 mooches it was a thing.
Glad mooch remains a unit of measurement.
🍿
As one of the “small government” crowd I’m not trusting that douchebag with my information.
Instructions unclear. Uploaded my social security card and DNA samples.
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.
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
