#Elmo is going to demand a selfie and a copy of your ID and an Israeli company will be handling the data. I can't possibly stress enough how strenuously you must refuse to do this...if you still for some ungodly reason wanted to remain on Shitter but this means leaving, LEAVE.

Update: Article doesn't state it's for blue checks only but that may be the case. If so, it could eventually expand. I still say "leave!" because it's a cesspool. https://www.pcmag.com/news/verifying-your-identity-on-twitter-will-require-taking-a-selfie
