You’re virtue signaling, plain and simple. No one is forcing you to be verified. It is not mandatory to use the platform. That he’s “gutting” Twitter seems more like something you hope to see, not something that’s actually happening. |

I don't find that kind of an argument very convincing. It doesn't seem to hold true in the long run.
In the early days of the web, a username and password were typically enough for creating an account for the web sites that even required an account in the first place.
Then more and more sites started also requiring an email address be provided to create and/or keep using an existing account.
Then more and more sites started also requiring a phone number.
Then more and more sites started also requiring a real name.
Now more and more sites want to see some sort of government-issued ID.
Over time, more and more personal and private information seems to be demanded in order to use many web sites.
Even if some particular piece of information isn't demanded today, it seems likely enough to me that it will be demanded in the future.
