Attestations for Twitter & Facebook are way less relevant for our Chinese users than wechat which is ubiquitous in Asia. They appear to have an OAuth API that we could use:

Similarly, we should investigate other local options like Kakao, Naver, QQ, LINE, VK, etc. Other attestations like Github make a lot of sense to me as well. We should also consider a generalized version of the Airbnb attestation that allows you to connect your identity on any third-party website. You would submit a link to your profile on any third-party site and we can verify that you indeed control it by adding the verification phrase that we give you.
Of course, we'll need to figure out a better UI if we end up supporting a plethora of attestation types.
