X, formerly known as Twitter, has introduced a new verification process for X Blue users. This process involves submitting a selfie along with a photo of a government-issued ID.
The personal information collected during verification will be managed by Israeli company AU10TIX software. This data will be stored for up to 30 days to enhance security measures.
X states that the collected user profile data will be used primarily for safety and security purposes, aiming to prevent impersonation and fraud on the platform.
