Comment on X plans to use payment, phone and ID verification to stop bots, $1/yr feeparent

Don't know, this sounds like an excellent use of stolen credit cards. And considering it's just a dollar, I could see CC harvesters using Twitter as their testbed for CC #s (as apposed to charities, etc.). Then they can sell the accts as well as the CCs.

May take time to spin up, but eventually being willing to pay a dollar for Twitter might mean the acct is more likely a bot than a human.

As soon as they launch this it will immediately become a stolen card test bed until the cc company closes the loophole. It makes perfect sense but nobody can explain that to the musk because they will get sacked
