I bet they won't try to sell Donald Trump's inactive personal account.
This will have interesting consequences if, for example a reporter who no longer uses X, gets their username sold. The person who buys it of course will appear authenticated, and then the fraudulent news begins.
This is literally facilitating impersonation. I don't see how anyone could consider it ethical, and surely there are legal ramifications.

- ksaj 3y agoAh, so he did. It's still outside the 30 day limit. Just not as far outside as I originally thought.
- GuB-42 3y agoYou don't have to tweet to keep your account active, just log in.
- ksaj 3y agoI log in every time I get an email saying I got a DM from someone I actually know, generally from the two people I know who keep complaining about X, but haven't gone somewhere federated where I'm far more accessible. As long as they keep finding things to tell me in "private" I have a good reminder process for logging in often enough to keep my account from being sold by the X protection racket for $50k.
