“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.

    Sadly, plenty of idiots will gladly hand over whatever he wants. Even if you COULD trust that he wouldn’t use your data for nefarious purposes, why would you want yet ANOTHER company to have the complete story of your life in a hackable database? Remember the Equifax data breach? Guess most people don’t.

      Remember how we sent every C-level to prison for twenty years and fined the company out of existence? lol jk corporations are infallible and it’s our fault our data was held by a private company without our consent.
