Verifying your identity on Twitter will require taking a selfie

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.

It’s not going to be a requirement

You don't have to. It's only if you want the blue checkmark.

Are these hard to come by? I bet you could pay less than $10 per id+selfie combo Nowadays, you could autogenerated both, and it's way more expensive to check the I'd than to generate one

Stripe Identity does it for $1.50/proofing request. Not sure what ID.me charges (what Login.gov is pushing out across the federal agency fleet).

If you fake it, of course the recourse is the legal system for identity fraud.
