Nobody, absolutely nobody should trust that idiot with your ID.
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
Nothing the credit agencies don't already leak every year or two...
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
I would trust pornhub with my ID more than I'd trust that asshat with it.
