Wasn't Twitter / Xitter / X (whatever they are called now) the company that asked your for your phone number "for your own (account) security" and then got all these phone numbers stolen by some hackers?

Hell yeah, why not do the same shit with your government ID. These are probably even more worth in the darknet.
