Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter

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

then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal
Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don’t have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.
He was actually forced to buy it after suggesting it
Nah, his entire goal was to take something away from the woke liberals and journalists and make it a Safe Space for fascist snowflakes.
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…
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.
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 ☝️🤓
bruh lololol
Instructions unclear. Uploaded my social security card and DNA samples.
Don’t do this. Delete your Xitter account and use Mastodon instead.
Xitter
In my head that’s pronounced “shitter”
That is indeed my intent.
I’m seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.
Man I never had a Twitter account to begin with, lol. Any Internet site that wants my ID can eat a dick instead because I will straight-up close that tab and 360 moonwalk right out the door.
- While “Safety Dance” plays faintly in the background.
Xitler?
I got a mastodon, but there’s nothing there.
You have to work to populate it.
Give it time. With both Xitter and reddit trying to kill themselves, and Threads dead on arrival, adoption of both Lemmy and Mastodon is going up.
do what i did: bring your friends :>
Friends?
you know, those guys who like and retweet each other.
I don’t have those.
90s: stay anonymous, be careful with strangers, don’t give up any more info than you have to. The internet can be a dangerous place. Also, supervise your kids and have them ask permission to go online.
2010s-2020s: livestream your life 24/7, use real names and emails everywhere when signing up for bullshit, hand your kid a phone and let them go buck wild as well.
How did we stray like this?
It’s also ironic that the same generation of parents telling us to be careful online and “don’t believe everything you see on TV” are the same ones that get their news from grifter pundits and divisive facebook memes generated by Russian bot farms.
It’s remarkable isn’t it? Now we’re the ones telling our parents to turn off the TV and get off the internet or it’ll rot their brains.
growing up these days includes realizing your parents are shameful hypocrites who are knowingly destroying the world
The funny thing is that you probably think you get news legitimately.
But the truth is that it’s all propaganda. The only difference between CNN and Fox, or reddit/Twitter/Facebook, is the angle.
But it’s all bullshit.
‘News’ doesn’t exist anymore, instead of just giving the facts, every article tries to tell you what you should think.
I still sign up for websites with the following credentials:
Joe Blow 6969 Penetration Ave Beverly Hills, California 90210
People got mad when they didn’t know who insulted them online
I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!
Looking forward to the inevitable massive data breach.
Will be even more interesting when they inevitably hold the data for longer than the 30 days
Providing this info in the first place is the data breach… 🥴
There is absolutely 0 chance I’m sending any documents to the clown in chief
Don’t worry… they are probably going to a “trusted” 3rd party service ;-)
It’s right in the fine print. “Au10tix”, lmao.
Identity theft as a service… IDaS?
Do we pronounce it Eye-Dass, or can we get away with ID-Ass here ;-)
But what about Elon?
There is absolutely 0 chance I’m sending any documents to the clown in chief
a clown has to make people laugh. it’s a tough job.
imagine elonMusk trying to please people!
Hahahahaha no.
Besides, what makes them think I even have a government ID? I don’t drive and I’d only need a passport if I had to leave the country.
Looooooooots of people don’t have ID.
Do you not have a job or bank account?
If all the ignorant masses don’t wake up to this WEF fuckery and it becomes “normalized” to need this for everything, then you’ll need it to receive your basic universal payment in centralized digital currency. You’ll also need it to incorporate your global “green score” which is like a type of social credit. Once cash is gone and decentralized crypto is illegal to own, most people will comply so they don’t starve. A 100% identifiable human 100% tracked and controlled. Fail to comply to something and your identity gets switched off. Nothing works for you now. This is not fiction. Just pay attention to the agenda of WEF. And if you think this can’t or won’t happen then please explain how the fuck Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn still exist? Every person who is faced with this request for government issued ID for anything that isn’t government should refuse and leave. Trusting these incompetent and abusive corporations with even more private information is illogical. They can’t keep anything safe now. Giving them more won’t “save you from the hackers”. That is a disingenuous deception to double down on control. They care nothing for your privacy, safety or well being. “We had a data breach and your personal information has been compromised. It includes your name, email, phone number, address and government issued ID with face scan. Oops, sorry”.
Everyone needs to say “NO” to this now!Great copypasta, thanks
Asimov would be proud of the world you’ve built in your mind here LoL.
Unlike the writing of Asimov, this is not a work of fiction. Do some digging for yourself and you’ll see that World Economic Forum has plans for you and I. Many have indeed been introduced. Many governments are following the agenda and have been for decades. Your answer is why I’m pessimistic and know we’re fucked. Klaus Schwab wants to be your feudal overlord. He knows what’s best for you. It sounds like you’re ready to trust him.
I’ve dug deep, and what I’ve found just reinforces that positions like the one you’ve put forward are completely fabricated and only really accepted by uneducated, ignorant, socially displaced losers who want to feel like they know something everyone else doesn’t.
Tldr; you gotta be a special sort of retarded to believe any of the bullshit you’re claiming to be true.
Driver’s licences don’t count?
Oh, a DL absolutely counts.
Why would anybody do this?
Elon promised that if you sign up for a paid premium account and it gets a lot of engagement, then X will give you money. There are a lot of fools who will gladly share their ID for free money. Of course, the money will never come, but that won’t stop the suckers signing up for this.
Normalizing proving who you are to random online companies. I can’t see how this could backfire.
it won’t be mandatory, unfortunately. Would’ve loved to see another fediverse mass migration
Yeah, it’s only for people stupid enough to pay for Twitter.
So how does this work for non-US users who’re from countries with different laws and ID types. This sounds like it might break EU and UK laws respectively on the storage and uploading front.
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
“By using this site, you waive your right to local EU and UK laws”
It doesn’t work like that, but I bet Elon will try.
GDPR would definitely prohibit transferring the ID data to third parties outside the EU. They could replace this mechanism with European ID verification services (via eID or video verification). But I can’t imagine many people would go through that hassle, just to keep using Twitter/X. Then again, this Elon man is a literal fountain of terrible ideas, so who knows at this point.
Well said reply!
Thanks! Lemmy is such a nice place to be.
In EU there are ways to verify yourself online, for instance if you want to get a credit card, etc. This is normally handled by a third-party, which more or less just checks per webcam if the info they got from the other company is the same as what you show them. I don’t see any privacy issues here, that I wouldn’t have seen in processes of other companies, that already do something like this.
This isn’t something new and I would guess that this is the case with most modern countries.
Its more a case they company they use is in the USA tbh.
Is sefie the new covfefe?
I thought it was fake because of the typo, then I remembered that it’s Xitter and they probably don’t have someone proofreading stuff anymore.
Hilarious. Twitter sucked before Elon took over, I can’t imagine wanting to ever sign up for something this invasive now.
Ha ha ha ha ha… No.
I read that in Alex Trebek’s voice.
Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.
Elon has the vibe of someone who likes low budget TV shows now that you mention it.
Hey there’s nothing wrong with low budget tv shows! You can’t take my early seasons of Stargate SG-1 from me like that
There are some gems hidden in the rubble. But one probably wouldn’t say they’re good because they’re low budget.
Ahh I see what you mean, yeah that’s true
