Online banks use this method. I am not happy with this either. It's government-regulated, so OK (sort of).
A social media site? No, thank you.
Banks are usually bound by KYC (know your customer) laws and are required to verify your identity. Imagine trusting some random third-party company with your photo ID though... Insane.
actually, two companies.
you give up your id forever to an id verification company + twitter stores it for 30 days
