I once accidentally set an incorrect birth year on Twitter. They locked me out of my account and insisted that I upload a government ID to unlock my account.


Did they accept the edited ID with a DoB matching the account data or how did you solve that?


I just... sent a scan of my passport. I mean, they promised to delete it right? Nothing could go wrong?


Oh, right, they will just believe whatever the "passport" says no matter what you declared earlier! That could come in handy


This was pre-Musk, so, not sure what their policy is now.
