X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, will now require X Blue users to submit a selfie alongside a photo of a government-issued ID, according to a report by PC Magazine.
The user’s personal information required by the verification process will be handled by Israeli company AU10TIX software which will store the information for up to 30 days.
X said the data collected from a user’s profile will be used “for the purpose of safety and security, including preventing impersonation”.
