It's not about trusting some idiot. It's about attaching your identity to your activities online. I remember when these websites used to advise against doxing yourself.
Then swatting opponents will be much easier
I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don't want to do it, just don't.
I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though...
It’s not technically hacking when Elon leaves the door open after slamming his dick in it.
It has already happened before. It will happen again.
