Innocuous In Innisfil Has MovedHey Mastadon admins.... you might want to negotiate for some additional data space with your hosting partner. I gotta feeling there might be another surge of Twitter refugees...
Kaysee ColoradoGee, why not just jump to the implant. 🤔
Pepperbike@KayseeColorado @paulbusch oh please can we give those brain implants to the blue check muskrats. If it shorts their "brain" it might be an improvement.
Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸@paulbusch @ned what could go wrong!? lol
@paulbusch serious question: What does this mean for corporations wtih a social media team?
@chris
Who the he'll knows. Your social media intern? The marketing VP? And what happens with staff turnover? I'm sure it's as well thought out and executed as the Tesla autopilot...

Devon Strang@paulbusch @chris Won’t this also drive away the millions of trolls and paid bad actors? 🤔 There will be no one left.
Alexander The 1st@devonstrang @paulbusch @chris Nah, there's an easy way for them to fight the system too - just take an image from ( https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ ), and copy the face onto a standard ID template, and Photoshop the standard I.D. in with a fake hand holding the I.D.
Brian@paulbusch @chris I’d assume you will have to move to a business account. Then naturally start paying to be there
The Polish Dispatch@paulbusch Is it plausible that M*sk does this as part of a larger plan to land a government (not necessarily US) contract one day?
@ThePolishDispatch
That would imply strategic thinking... not lurching from one bad idea to the next...

McWabbit🐰 has moved@paulbusch Och... Only a few will have the character and will to stay.
The rest sadly will relent and return to the bird site anyway and take more outrageous fascist BS for granted.

Taco@paulbusch correct me if I’m wrong… but Twitter still doesn’t have a data protection officer in place, right?
I think I just heard every single privacy lawyer on the planet start drooling from the mouth.
Craig Mcgee@paulbusch oh what has the muskrat done, this time?
David Binkowski@paulbusch I'm old enough to remember Elmo saying that paying for Twitter Blue was the only way to verify people/get rid of bots 😂
Deb has moved! (see profile) 🇨🇦

Balloonicorn@stickus it's smoldering on the porch what's left of it.
@stickus as i think back on this, this is a perfectly good way to traumatize a poor ai by having it train face pics off one of my manhood instead.....
@Balloonicorn
I mean, it's *kinda* got a face

BenderIsGreat34@paulbusch nah. Anyone still on there is going straight to Threads or BS. Selecting a server is just so dang hard y’know?

masyukun@paulbusch Kind of an inevitable choice -- either you go with strong identity through government-backed IDs, biometrics, and surveillance... or you let anonymity run free, bots and all.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@paulbusch This was always going to be necessary for "X" to provide financial services. So the question to be asking yourself is, "Would you buy a used credit card from this man?"
@paulbusch This is only for Twitter Blue users, right? Or everyone.
CharLight@paulbusch oh wow lol. my account dead but yes, if this is true, this will be a massive turn off for many people
Anvil of Truth@paulbusch X can shit into Musks right hand and wish into his left hand for people to submit their ID info, wanna bet which fills first?
Solomon Schuler@paulbusch that's not all I've heard on twitter (now as 'X') started to paywall their entire site. Is this true?
@SolomonSchuler
I haven't heard that and as of now not true. I still visit my account there once a day, zero posting just reading, and I'm not paying anything.

KC-DOZ@paulbusch Is that an "actual" PC Mag article, or taken from their blogosphere where anything goes?
rjw3591@paulbusch If this is true it's mega-crazy. He has a death wish about the platform. I want him nowhere near our space program.

What? No body cavity search?
@paulbusch privacy protection doesn’t apply if it is off shore
✨ Julia M ✨Of course, then there's also this....
Charles Herold@paulbusch this article came out in the middle of August so who knows if it will ever happen.
Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@paulbusch X users are lunatics.
GreenSkyOverMe (Monika)@paulbusch Image description:
"X will begin to have users verify their identity by having them submit a selfie alongside a govt issued ID, requiring users to consent to Twitter storing their info for 30 days & sharing it with an identity verification company based in Israel"

@12thRITS @glasspusher OK now do the CAPTCHA click on all the boxes with traffic lights
@PamW @glasspusher Someone's got to educate those Teslas on how to drive themselves.
@glasspusher I'm so sorry Musk trashed Twitter. @AFinLA and FakaktaSouth and Cindy in Encinitas and whole bunch of us used to have a nice little posse over there.
Well we've got a good #chunderroad started here. Needs moar @Biff52 engagement tho.

Jennifer@paulbusch so I went and read the actual article. It's just for the people stupid enough to pay for a blue checkmark and I'm happy for those people to stay on Twitter or whatever the hell it is now. Also its optional. https://www.pcmag.com/news/twitter-requests-government-issued-ids-for-paid-subscriber-verification
Deborah Robinson@paulbusch I feel like that should be illegal. An invasion of privacy. Does it go against our privacy laws in Canada, do you think?
StopForTea@paulbusch Anyone who complies with this deserves all they get. Or rather, lose
Laura Kellenbarger
Frances LarinaElon and the Crown Prince, and maybe Vladimir must be having a good laugh at how far Musk can push journalists, public figures and politicians before they'll leave.
Takako 🐀@paulbusch I found the PC Mag article, but dated over a month ago. It’s not clear to me if all existing xitter accounts would be affected. In any case, who would want to submit personal info online, let alone to xitter?! Nuts.

tyil@paulbusch Or do the exact opposite, close registrations so the #Fediverse doesn't consolidate on just a handful of mega instances. The whole point is to federate as lots and lots of little instances...
