X now wants your biometric data, as well as your job and education history for ‘safety, security, and identification purposes’::The company said it may use user data to train A.I. models.
But don’t you dare inquire about the location of Elon’s jet.
What the fuck is “X”
Twitter trying to make fetch happen.

Hell no. As soon as I see a new privacy policy, that’s the time I delete my Twitter account.
I know it’s X now, but I subscribed to Twitter and will call it like that.
There’s no need to indulge Elon Musk just because he’s rich, he’s a spoiled kid.
Hell no. As soon as I see a new privacy policy, that’s the time I delete my Twitter account.
No, the time is now, it was yesterday,… months ago. Please people, stop fooling yourself.
I deleted my account as soon as the takeover got official. Fuck Elon. People still staying on Twitter are delusional.
I know, there are some artists who depend on their following on Twitter for exposure. But I think they can band together and pick a Mastodon instance to migrate to and direct their followers. That would be better than having your account suspended without reason or get doxxed because you submitted your government ID to Twitter and they got hacked.
What was the deletion process like? Did you have to provide any additional data like a phone number or id?
No, just provide my email with lots of
are you sure you want to delete your account?prompts. But this happened on the day of the acquisition so our beloved poopy muskrat wasn’t able to sink his grubby little hands on Twitter yet.
Don’t deadname Elon’s platform. Elon would never deadname people… Oh wait.
Elon Musk is still getting owned on his own platform and is assembling the most sophisticated ad hominem generator known to man.
“Elon the state of Tesla bodywork is unacceptable and at this rate the Cybertruck will never launch”
CALCULATING RESPONSE: BIOMETRIC DATA SUGGESTS USER BMI ABOVE AVERAGE
“Yeah well you’re fat fucking gotem”
Has anyone deleted their twitter account lately? What is the procedure like?
I want to detwitter an account that has not been used for a long time.
Does twitter ask for a government id or phone number like I hear Facebook does before you cana delete?
Leave it up, and don’t use it. Let them carry dead weight.
While the potential misuse of highly personal information by private companies is indeed a concern, I believe we may be overlooking a key point that the article doesn’t fully address: Musk’s ambition to create a “super app”. I haven’t delved deeply into this concept, but I’ve pondered it a bit. The question that comes to mind is: why would someone choose to develop an app for Twitter instead of Android or iOS?
Apart from the obvious advantage of not having to develop for two separate platforms, there’s also the benefit of user identification. This, I believe, will be a major draw for many services. The ability to verify a user’s identity at the ID level, even down to their fingerprint, is a significant advantage. From a technical standpoint, it’s impressive, but consider the legal implications as well. It’s incredibly convenient for those offering sensitive services.
If this approach proves successful and attracts companies, government entities, and so on, and if Twitter becomes the platform where we can easily renew our driving licenses, pay municipal taxes, and handle other tedious tasks, would we be willing to exchange our personal data for such convenience? Perhaps those of us reading this comment wouldn’t, at least initially, but I suspect the majority of people would.
I believe the Chinese already have it.
Apple isn’t far behind. Transferring funds, iPhones have biometric authentication, GPS in every phone, account mandated. The future is handed to our technical overlords on a platter for a bit of convenience.
yep I won’t be logging into x anytime soon
So they can sell ads safe and secure to those who will be hit hardest by them?
