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.
Over the years this has become more invasive. We didn’t have to hand over our I’d for scanning potentially into a permanent record to do things. A quick proof of age was all people cared about for those things inappropriate for minors.
It’s illegal to ask for your SSN, yet it happens all the time and we have no recourse if we refuse.
We’re being desensitized to the invasion of privacy to the point we don’t care any more. I think that is the goal. Death by 1000 pricks.
