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.
Can you refuse to produce ID to law enforcement in the U.S. without probable cause? Yes? Then it’s private.
You give your ID info to whomever you want, including the minimum wage worker. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
That’s not any working definition of private information I’ve ever seen.
We’re talking about privacy in the context of information security.
Edit: for context, I’m not questioning whether people must give their ID to Twitter.
Well, in that context, again, it still works.
Show the ID to the minimum wage worker so they can prove identify; put it back into your wallet. Don’t want to show it? Well, don’t show it. Can someone snatch your wallet and see it without your consent? Sure, just like it happens on systems with weak security.
I’m sorry but I’m not following your point. I’m questioning whether the info on a license is really “private info”. I am not suggesting that people be forced to give Twitter their ID
