“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.
Apparently, Elon did not get any lesson from the Saudi man’s death at all. Its so important for people to remain anonymous in the digital world.
Try this, I found people talking about this on Lemmy: https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin
So I downloaded, and from my experience so far on this decentralized social network, it has the ability to replace Twitter for those who care about privacy and are concerned with data breaches.
- Using an Anonymous ID, it does not require either an email or a phone number when creating accounts.
- It is decentralized, with no central cloud server to store our data.
- There is no censorship; no one can ban your account or remove your content.
- It connects the world widely, so no single country, government, or person can manipulate the content we see.
- The feed/chat space, DMs, voice calls, and fast file/pic transfers are all end-to-end encrypted.
The saudi rulers are Elon’s friends. There is nothing there for him to learn from.
