Comment on Twitter/X new ID Verification - First Look

I believe this is only for users that want the blue tick in which case it sort of makes sense that to be “verified” means they infact have verified that you are who you claim to be.

Requiring a picture of you ID seems very 2005 though

Steam does the exact same thing if you want to publish a game as a sole proprietor. Picture of both sides of ID then selfie with ID.

  Though it’s a big difference to comply with business KYC requirements than to simply have a cool icon by your username.

    Yeah huge difference. I’m not sharing my actual PII with a social media website, let alone a centralised one run by a fascist 🤢

What’s the more 2023/contemporary alternative for verification?

Fully sequenced genome with attached dickpick and certified bathwater sample?

  Here in Germany I think our ID cards use NFC, I can identify for Government related stuff by pressing my ID card on my phone. Last time I did this for some free energy cost related money from the government due to the war.

  I don’t have the technical understanding to explain how it works but in Finland I can verify my identity by logging in to my online bank profile and they provide my identity to the 3rd party.

    We have the same in Norway.
    
    I seem to recall some international payment options being able to utilize it.
