“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.
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.
Why would anybody do this? To access a service so bad it keeps falling?
No thanks, dipshit
Elon can eat my ass.
(Or maybe not.)
Want X to have a stool sample too?
Don’t have a Twitter account will never have a Twitter account.
Well, most celebs and e-celebs should get off X pretty much immediately, because at this rate this data will inevitably gets leaked somewhere for a Blue Checkmark.
Also, impersonating celebrities? On the Internet? Who would do such a thing?
(Crypto is so dumb by the way.)
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.
Actually, given that biometric data is permanent, it should be very interesting to see the EU get its hands on this.
That’s not all. The company has further outlined in its upcoming privacy policy it “may use the information we collect and publicly available information to help train our machine learning or artificial intelligence models.”
All artists better get the fuck off that plattform. I doubt he will stop at text.
X is safe and effective?
Since Elon has been very transparent about his goal of making X the everything app, by adding all this stuff and biometrics… For security?
What could possibly go wrong?
This increasing interest in biometric data, not just from “X”, is concerning to say the least
Stop give this platform visibility on lemmy, remove big tech ads from the sub
Sub? That’s big tech talk!
