Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter
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.
Wtf no
What's stopping someone from printing a fake ID on paper? Also would a printed photo pass the "selfie" test?
Cmon! Why people are still using it?
My expectations were low, but holy shit.
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!
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.
Fediverse about to be eating good
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.
Run forest RUUUNN!
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
