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

[–] netburnr 15 points 2 years ago

Nothing the credit agencies don't already leak every year or two...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Diprount_Tomato 16 points 2 years ago

Then swatting opponents will be much easier

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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 ☝️🤓

Many will just go along with this bollocks....🤦🏻‍♂️

[–] Changetheview 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Very interested to see how the “small government” crowd deals with this.

[–] Falmarri 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Didn't voat or truth social or something require IDs and the idiots all flocked to it?

[–] elscallr 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that was Parler for the whole 3 mooches it was a thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Glad mooch remains a unit of measurement.

[–] TurboDiesel 10 points 2 years ago

Dunno about the others, but I specifically remember Parler required users to attach their IDs to their profiles if they wanted to be verified.

[–] elscallr 1 points 2 years ago

As one of the "small government" crowd I'm not trusting that douchebag with my information.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's gonna dox all the liberals/lefties. Wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the original plan.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] hiramfromthechi 11 points 2 years ago

Instructions unclear. Uploaded my social security card and DNA samples.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would trust pornhub with my ID more than I'd trust that asshat with it.

[–] assassin_aragorn 3 points 2 years ago

They'd at least understand the need for privacy
