Twitter won't verify you then. It sucks because dissidents are being hacked for their DMs.

Then they're exposed in other ways. Verification is actually quite helpful.

That calculation is different for every dissident. I can't make it for them, but I can point out the tradeoffs.

Right; but Twitter is unnecessarily restricting it with lousy security setup.
