Elon Musk Wants to Authenticate Every Twitter User. Crypto Twitter Should Take Notice
Twitter’s soon-to-be owner says he wants to “authenticate” all humans, but did not say what that actually means
…
So the bird site basically has been largely focused on what the CEO of Tesla buying it means for free speech and bots.
Something else caught my eye in the press release announcing the transaction. In a statement, Musk said, “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by … authenticating all humans.”
Does this mean Musk wants to get rid of anonymous accounts entirely? And how would this work in practice?
It seems that “authenticate” here would have to mean collecting some form of personally identifiable information (PII). If it’s as simple as checking a box or filling out a captcha, that doesn’t seem so bad.
It’s another story altogether if “authentication” extends to checking a license or passport or credit card to verify that there is a real human on the other end of the keyboard.
The implications of Twitter, which has suffered cybersecurity breaches in the recent past, collecting PII are troubling. In particular, a large number of Twitter’s users remain pseudonymous or anonymous for various reasons, ranging from just wanting to troll or harass people to having credible fears of posting under their actual identities. As reporter Melissa Chan points out, governments interested in identifying dissidents or activists may try to leverage influence over Musk in ways they could not influence Twitter itself.
A lot of folks may also just not have access to the kinds of IDs that might be needed. This authentication solution would have to account for these individuals.
Musk is known for disliking bots and their potential role on social media, and it would make sense for him to focus on that specific issue (and it is for sure an issue). Authenticating accounts is one way of addressing that.
On the other hand, he also has said he wants to make open source the algorithms that drive Twitter. In and of itself, this won’t change too much – Musk has not committed to making the data that Twitter’s algorithms use to drive their decision-making process public, and that’s probably where the real digital gold lies. On the other hand, it’s hard to reconcile “clamp down on bots” with “here’s the source code.” “Open-source apps usually are easier to make bots for,” says someone I know.

Vaccines cause no damages?
I admit, I admit.
Why would you assume that this was about anons specifically?
>you can JUST arrest politicians, fake news, WEF, Bill Gates and and and
>People won't flip the fuck out

Maybe you are being played.
