Twitters just a website, It's not society.
Articles like this being posted and reposted are part of what make it such a loud little teacup.
This post, this OMG comment, and all the other musk Twitter 'news' we are forced to try and ignore all the life long day, are the cause of the whole problem.
Leave it alone and it will go away.
Keep picking at it and it will only get worse.

I think this'll basically take over all social media sites, and many others as well, sooner or later.
And I also believe that individual sites shouldn't be in the verification business and should definitely outsource this to companies that specialize, like ID.me (choose your poison.)
This is developing, not only as a means to track and monetize people, but also as a desperate defense against misinformation, bots, trolls, and AI taking over these platforms. If you require real people to put up real ID, then you reduce the feasibility quotient of running a massive bot army.
Honestly what took so long. He promised this ages ago. If you want to be anon and edge all over the site you can, but if you want to engage in serous discussion there can be accountability. Then we will know who had that nazi account, and qanon wankers don't get little blue x marks or whatever.
I don't use or care about Twitter, but I'm not surprised that he will finally make some noise to back up his primary claim about how he'll 'improve' the site.
There are lots of places to talk without handing your data to Israel.
