Twitter/X new ID Verification - First Look - Lemmy.World

Thanks to Popcrave https://twitter.com/popcrave/status/1691852136236327316?s=46&t=lcH0dp9biwkMEBKsRQeVeQ [https://twitter.com/popcrave/status/1691852136236327316?s=46&t=lcH0dp9biwkMEBKsRQeVeQ] Who here is going to put their ID and photo on X/Twitter

Twitter aside, if any website or app ever asks this of you, please nope the fuck out.

I guess it only occasionally makes sense for government web sites and banks. X might have ambitions to become a bank, so in that sense it might make sense.

So another piece of advice: if twitter ever asks you if you want to start using it for banking, nope the fuck out.

The only government function that has ever wanted a "selfie" was for my drivers license and passport. Both of which feature that picture. But I've never done either through a site.
