“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 just deleted my “X” because of this. I’ve been meaning for a while to get off of “X”.
Same I deleted by decades old account over this issue.
There was a thread on that other news discussion site where users were claiming they were being asked to upload a government id photo before they could delete their account. I found that not to be the case.
Still better safe than sorry, it was time to get off the platform and this issue highlighted that.
I didn’t have to upload a government ID, but that must suck!
