 I'm confused this article talks about how you'll be able to show/hide the blue checkmark, but totally ignores the “government ID" requirement? Is that not the far bigger story? Also how gullible do you have to be to actually pay $ just so your ID can be included in the, sure to be coming soon, data breach? 27 comments
Yes, and if, for some reason, they decide they need to reverify you for any reason before your year is up, then they want a photo, with a special code, written on a blank sheet of paper with your verifiable signature they have for you on file. @david believe it or not, but I actually have some level of trust that Facebook will keep that information private/secure. You have much greater faith in Facebook than I do, ha! My Deaf wife was accused of "live streaming" World Cup audio on her live ASL stream -- that had/as no audio whatsoever. No way to appeal. No way to get the video unrestricted. Then, when I next streamed, we were auto-blocked for the same reason even though the only audio on my stream is my voice. No SFX. No music. No other sound than my plodding voice. I find them utterly, and irretrievably, corrupt. That includes Instagram. Plus: Cambridge Analytica was a deal breaker for privacy for most of my friends. They were smart and left immediately. I stayed. I was one of 10 in the world who helped them Alpha test their now failed NFT support -- and they still falsely accused my wife and me -- without any avenue to get the ridiculousness fixed. I later came to understand that anyone who was live streaming during the World Cup broadcasts got the same blanket "take down and mute" DMCA violation. @meltingrobot @paul is this really so hard to grasp, or are you just playing for the cool guys on Mastodon? Because either way, it’s worrying.  If you are a scammer advertising a scam, it is worth paying $7 for a Blue account so that your tweets get priority in other users' timelines; but you do not want those users to know that the tweet showed up only because you paid for it.  @paul they will most likely use a third-party KYC providers similar to what most fintechs use. Doubt they have resources to build this in-house now. @paul I also can't believe they are only now implementing the edit feature, but only for those who pay. Lol "clout" on the 🐦 is massively addictive apparently to the exclusion of basic facts. Twitter just disclosed a 200 million user data breach in January of this year 🙄🤷🏾♂️ https://ioc.exchange/users/alaric/statuses/110079751692608518  @paul Wait, I thought the whole point of the whole checkmark revolution and messing up the verification system was that Elon believed everyone envies the people who have checkmarks and desires to have one too 🤡 The prioritizing of Blue subscribers in other uers' timelines will be attractive mostly to those who expect a monetary return from their tweets: chiefly promoters of scams... @paul IDs were originally a part of the verification process at the very beginning years ago. It isn’t being discussed more probably because that isn’t a new part of the process. @paul |

If you have a Facebook business page, and if you want to keep your yearly verification, you have to provide a front and back image of a government ID each year or your badge gets revoked.
