      If you keep in mind that it’s only done with special certified subcontractors, then yes. I would never give that information directly to a company like X. And yes, also those special companies are more times shady than they should be, but still.

        Dunno what you’re talking about here but I’ve had to go through something similar every time I’ve opened a new account with a financial service.

        But yeah, I would not trust Twitter/X either. Musk is too much of an emotional child following whatever whim takes his fancy that day.
