X can now ask users for government IDs to verify their paid accounts
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Just reading the text on the X site has some interesting contradictions, such as:
Benefits: Benefit from increased trust from other users who will see your ID verification label when they hover over your blue check mark.
More benefits to come: Speed up the process of obtaining a blue check mark through a simplified review process.
Translation: "You can trust us more because we will take more shortcuts in verifying people."
