I wonder if the people at X ever read their own announcements.

Literally explaining how they sold out and enshittified the "blue checkmark".

This also seem like yet another step towards mandatory IDverification on social media! (only to protect them kids & democratize the platforms of course ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Shouldn't they be up in arms over all this treading X is doing on them?

Bad? Who gives a damn what happens in a Nazi bar. Don't go in.

Unfortunately every other tech company is taking notes.

Who still uses Twitter (sometimes also called X) anyway?

A lot of people including public figures, unfortunately.

For clarity, that is not an EU demand to implement ID-Verification, but rather X using it as an excuse to do so.
