Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter
Besides some countries in the EU already have electronic ID identifiers. They can just contact them to verify I'm claiming who I am without this weird "yeah we need a picture of you, and look through your webcam". Banks don't need to do this to verify who I am, so I don't see why "X" needs this weird privacy invading process
Thankfully I don't care about X (lol), and with more and more of my industry moving to mastodon I'm quite happy that I need it less and less to keep up with papers and articles
Elon wants this so he can make teslas self driving hit specific people using face recognition
Almost like 98% of their engineers are gone.
