Actually that was my first thought as well.
By confirming with his cell phone, he just gave away his actual identity.
Scary if you ask me.
I'm not that paranoid....nobody is coming after me. I am not that important.

Really?
I don't want to freak you out, but this has little to do with whether you're important. The truth is, data like this goes many places and gets used for many reasons. For example in pre-employment checks....

I get that ... I have a facebook account and my wife likes her Alexa.
But there's something really doosh bagy about telling their user that sure they can unlock the account that they just locked; but the user has to agree to let them steal the user's identity first.

So Twitter is the arbiter of how big your digital foot print can be?

Regardless of whether on not you can escape the data collection, the more personal information you post about yourself the easier it is for criminals to steal your identity.
