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

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