I find this to be a great idea personally. I will totally give Twitter a few bucks a month for less bot BS and a blue checkmark.

You give the grocery store your government ID when you buy oreos?

Well there are the cameras in the parking lot logging my license plate, facial recognition tracking my course through the store on the way to get the cookies and to pay for them, probably at a self-checkout terminal with a camera right in your face. Then you pay for it with your Visa and that Oreo (automatically capitalized by my iPhone) purchase data is sold by Visa. Then that data gets consolidated with the data secured from Verizon and their Custom Experience badged reading of your text messages.

Then THAT gets sold to the Depts of Defense, Homeland Security, and whoever else wants.

I feel it’s fair to say we do.
