    Nobody, absolutely nobody should trust that idiot with your ID.

      If you always wanted to leak your ID to a bunch of hackers thanks to poor security practices, this is a great opportunity for you to do so

          then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal

          Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don’t have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.

          Nah, his entire goal was to take something away from the woke liberals and journalists and make it a Safe Space for fascist snowflakes.

        or everyone could recognize that he is far more malevolent toward you than any hacker could possibly be, but yeah, they definitely have no security that worries about YOUR data

      It’s not about trusting some idiot. It’s about attaching your identity to your activities online. I remember when these websites used to advise against doxing yourself.

        I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don’t want to do it, just don’t.

        I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though…

      Yeah. I’d rather hand it over to the weird guy at the bus stop. At least he’s not a billionaire douche bag.

        Ironically, it’s going to be a bunch of “libertarian” tech bros who use crypto for “privacy” who will be the first to give Musk (and by proxy every world government) their ID.

          Probably most monero users dont use kyc exchanges so i dont think they will use kyc twitter let alone the first ones. This may kill twitter, but there is lots of stupid out there like those crypto and bitcoin users lol so you never know.

      Shouldn’t trust Twitter users either, they’ll take an out of context joke you made back in 2011 and ruin your life over it.

      Honestly, just fuck talking to people online. Literal no good will ever come of it. I’m just gonna stop communicating with people.

      This shit is so dumb, no upside, only downsides

      He’s gonna dox all the liberals/lefties. Wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t the original plan.

        And journalists if they report on him negatively, or oppose his Russian “peace” talk suggestions, even if it puts their career in danger where they live. Peak freedom of speech absolutism!
