X is working on an ID verification process to combat impersonators

The transition from Twitter to what is now called X has been a rocky one to say the least. One of the biggest fails that in this mess of a situation was the Twitter Blue verification feature, which resulted in numerous impersonation cases. In an effort to combat that, X has been spotted to be working on a new verification process.

Owji had first spotted hints of X working on this feature on none other than Elon Musk’s own X profile, where it said that “this account is ID verified,” with a an additional section having the rather quirky detail stating that it has been “verified since 3000 BCE.” Very much in billionaire’s sense of humor.

Once submitted, both X and Au10tix will have access to the user’s information for 30 days. That includes all of your biometric data and the images of your ID. To add to its credibility, Au10tix states that it has also worked with other major companies such as Uber, Google, and PayPal.

ID verification should definitely help with putting a stop to all of the impersonation issues X users are having. The trouble is that the beloved by many platform is showing new fractures every other day, and it still feels like it could break at any minute.
