These posts seem to always fail to mention that this only applies to accounts that want the verified tag. I’m just as uninterested in sending them a picture of my ID as the rest of you but it’s not the most unreasonable thing to ask when you want a blue checkmark which by definition means that you are who you claim to be. Or atleast that’s what it used to mean.

Honest question, wasn’t it like this if you wanted a check mark before the nut job took the company?

  Not 100% sure on that one but according to chatGPT - yes
  
  As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Twitter’s verification process typically required users to provide some form of government-issued photo identification (ID) to verify their identity. This was part of their efforts to ensure that verified accounts are authentic and belong to the individuals or organizations they claim to be.
