X is working on ID verification, what’s next?
(lemmy.world)
First, I'm not going to give any social media my ID.
If someone intends to expose your ID to hackers due to Twitter's poor security performance, this presents a perfect occasion for them.
I don't know why these social media companies are so fixated on asking for personal information. And I'm sure this is just the beginning of Elon's grand plan.
Perhaps it's time to abandon Twitter and move to other fediverse or decentralised platforms? I would love to see a mass migration.
Surely it's for a mechanism to prevent hatespeech, right? Right?
X is going to be a WeChat clone. Social features will become tacked on and transformed to fit. Musk will take a page out of the CCP's playbook in moderating the platform.
Twitter's zombified corpse will go on while former Twitter features drop away like bits of rotten flesh. Just... look away. Any talk about free speech or microblogging is pointless going forward.
The bird is dead. Pour one out and let her RIP.
