X plans to collect biometric information, job, education history for safety, security, and identification purposes.

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” The revised policy of X(Twitter) is expected to go into effect on September 29, 2023.

The thing is, biometric data is permanent and can’t be changed. If we share that with X, it could mean lifelong privacy risks. And seriously, I can’t think of a single reason why Elon needs to know where I went to high school for data security purposes.

People keep talking about leaving Twitter, but when will they actually do that? I guess they’ll just keep putting up with it, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Bluefruit,

I guess we’re going nna keep hammering those nails into the coffin huh?

Not that im complaining. I’ve always hated twitter. I’ll gladly watch the dumpster fire burn.

MaxPow3r11,

God damn.

These fucks really fucked up the internet (+ the whole society/“reality”).

How do we escape this dystopia at this point?

Is it possible?

MattTheTekie,

I just deleted my “X” because of this. I’ve been meaning for a while to get off of “X”.

    I didn’t have to upload a government ID, but that must suck!

    Elon can eat my ass.

    (Or maybe not.)

    Fraylor,

    Want X to have a stool sample too?

    abnormal_123,

    I’m so intrigued about bot biometrics data science!

    lowleveldata,

    I read identifying purposes and thought they were doing some kind of philosophy experiment on people’s online behavior and their life purposes

    Beetschnapps,

    Yea that’s the thing with lifelong biometric data… they could be “identifying” something else entirely at any point now or in the future.

    assassin_aragorn,

    Actually, given that biometric data is permanent, it should be very interesting to see the EU get its hands on this.

    mvilain,

    I read this towards the end of August. I finally deactivated my Twitter account which has been “restricted” since April. So long and thanks for all the fish.

    mechoman444,

    Don’t have a Twitter account will never have a Twitter account.

    cloud,

    Stop give this platform visibility on lemmy, remove big tech ads from the sub

    GigglyBobble,

    Sub? That's big tech talk!

    brygphilomena,

    And bury our heads in the sand? Ignoring the situation won’t help.

    dipshit,

    That’s just the price of the internet these days. Gotta click “Accept” on the terms and conditions. Gotta spit into the cup for the DNA tracking. Gotta take a selfie with a drivers license. Gotta send a certified letter from your home address after it’s been notorized by a notary. Gotta send in your social security card so it can be analysed and mailed back to you. Gotta get a full blood panel and dental records sent in for verification. Gotta take a photo of yourself nude and send it into the US copyright office. Gotta install the eye tracking software with the penile insert peripheral when it arrives.

    But you know, it’s worth it if I get to send 1000 characters of non-elon-related-text on X.
