If you're dumb enough to trust Musk with that info I'll have no sympathy for you when it inevitably gets hacked.

So a lot of crypto exchanges (all?) require this type of verification. I assume the next thing is turning this into a payment app using crypto. That sounds very musky.

twitter doesn't actually store the id, only the result of verification (just like... roblox? for some reason);
they're using a 3rd party that partners with govts, specializes on id verification and only stores data for 30 days. (still, I would never trust them...)

Don’t trust any company. You’re taking a promise from something that has zero empathy or morality or much of a conscious.

Unless it’s an iron clad contract, a companies promises mean as much as a handshake from Trump.
