Elon's doing so many things that will gut Twitter/X. When he gives up trying, what lessons will he learn? This is my breaking point. I will not give up anonymity on this platform.
I keep hearing this, but people keep using Twitter.
CCPA and GDPR are going to have a field day with this crap

> Elon's doing so many things that will gut Twitter/X. They've just been on the front-page of all the Western media today, from the FT, to BBC to the NYTimes, they're doing quite all-right. Meanwhile I realized today that I have genuinely forgotten the name of the Twitter clone put forward by Zuckerberg, C...something. Ah, no, I've just googled it now, it's Threads. Yeah, that project is dead in the water.
b) After its initial peak Threads started to lose users largely because of missing features e.g. web app, search, hashtags, chronological sort etc. One by one these are being added and users are slowly coming back. Meta is not going to kill Threads whilst it is providing rich behavioural data into their Instagram/Facebook ad serving.
This is literally why I left facebook almost 10 years ago. They locked me out and required I send them a photo of my ID. I said, "Y'all ain't the cops... imma not do that" ...but first I drew them an ID in crayon which they rejected, then one in acrylics, one in color pencil, one in pastels, etc, etc... My goal was to make one for each of the 50 states, but I only did like 5 before I got bored of sending them and hav…
I feel like with AI tools now you could automate this and just enjoy the responses

That he’s “gutting” Twitter seems more like something you hope to see, not something that’s actually happening.
maybe x/twitter, linkedin etc. plan to add financial transactions and will need to be kyc compliant - so this is just a first step?
or is there a new 'driver' for this model to cause companies like these to prioritize this 'feature'? is there really that much destructive fraud or impersonation today?

The only time I've submitted government ID online was for banking sites where it's only online sign up. I am OK with this because I understand this is a requirement set by the same government issuing the IDs with rules around how it can be used.
Social media sites have no such requirement. They have no such rules around the collection of this information. They can do whatever they want with it once collected. Privacy policies aren't enough. They can shift on a whim.
