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.

You don't think there is a camera aimed at the register?

Ha.

Not one capable of registering all the minute details of my ID, no.

How sure are you? If licenses were such valuable troves of information, surely one person would have thought of a small hidden camera, right?
