“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.

This is a great new idiot test. Anyone who buys Musk’s reasoning is so stupid or dishonest that they can’t be trusted with anything.

It’s gotten to the point that I question anyone who links to Twitter now or has an account. Like why? Why not leave already?

I have an account dedicated to flaming Elon or Elon d-suckers. Whenever I get angry or pissy, I go there
