Description
Hi,
Thanks for your work on Keybase. I'm a huge fan, but I'm disappointed that I can't verify with Facebook or Twitter because you guys rely on posts & tweets as the medium for verification. This is like asking people to create a web page on their website to verify ownership of their website instead of just using DNS or Robots.txt.
I would like to propose that instead of using posts or tweets, allow people to add a special link to their Facebook and Twitter bios (or some other metadata field).
I'm determined to never publish a public Facebook post and I have no plans to ever tweet a Keybase verification. Keybase is awesome, but I don't like it more than my privacy.
Sincerely,
Michael
