If you're dumb enough to trust Musk with that info I'll have no sympathy for you when it inevitably gets hacked.
So a lot of crypto exchanges (all?) require this type of verification. I assume the next thing is turning this into a payment app using crypto. That sounds very musky.
That is part of his stated goal
twitter doesn't actually store the id, only the result of verification (just like... roblox? for some reason);
they're using a 3rd party that partners with govts, specializes on id verification and only stores data for 30 days. (still, I would never trust them...)
Don’t trust any company. You’re taking a promise from something that has zero empathy or morality or much of a conscious.
Unless it’s an iron clad contract, a companies promises mean as much as a handshake from Trump.
