That's fine that you have this opinion, but I honestly don't think this is a factor that would stop most people. People on HN have a much different perspective on personal data then most people in the real world. And for companies it not really an issue either.

Would you trust your passport and/or driver's license information to Twitter right now?
No. You shouldn't. This company lost half it's workers last week and morale is in the toilet. That info is unsecure.
I don't think there is enough trust left in Twitter to even do verifications anymore.
I mean Twitter already had process like that in place and many people trusted them with that.
And I'm sure many large company, politicians and so on would have gone threw the verification process.
Of course now maybe some people wouldn't anymore but when he took over twitter announcing that as a policy seem reasonable.
And those executives responsible for that division have left the company, complaining about user privacy issues and security violations.
