    I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!

        Considering all the past, current, and future disgruntled employees - I wouldn’t be shocked at all by an insider leaking stuff like this. The company is unstable like its leadership - which isn’t very trust-inspiring.

          Well, that’s a possibility too, but I was expecting that they just lose the data through over-work or negligence. Remember, this is the company that DDOS’d itself a month or two ago and had to be told about it on twitter…

          Following the theory that the leadership at twitter actually hate the users and are decimating the platform on purpose for the lols, maybe the outcome you suggest is the plan.

          Part of me believes this theory, because it’s hard to imagine how someone even with the explicit stated purpose of destroying twitter could have topped the recent developments. It’s almost as if what they’re trying to do is embarrass and degrade the users.

      It does say “for up to 30 days”. Would’ve been better if it was 24 hours, but after the initial wave of verifications, there probably won’t be much there.

      That is assuming you can trust the company that does the verification for them.
