Former Twitter company 'X' wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history

The social network has updated its privacy policy. "Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the privacy policy reads. It doesn’t include any details on what kind of biometric information this includes — or how X plans to collect it — but it typically involves fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features.

"Based on your consent"

More like lack there of.

hashferret,

Whether it’s technically biometric by definition or not I’m inclined to think they want to make sure they’re in the clear to do typing and other interaction heuristics. Seems like the sort of tech corpos would think will solve all their moderation woes now that they’re restricting which clients people can use.

How do they verify their people's profiles are correct or not?

sugar_in_your_tea,

The same way they verify the blue checkmarks:

Then it'll be easier to dox political activists to dictators.

CIWS-30,

That would explain the Saudi money, and why every hostile nation states seems to have a bot army of blue checkmarks trolling any political entity that's against Dictators or fascist, authoritarian states.

And it will only get worse by time...

Get ready for industrial espionage too on behalf of Elon Musk, towards corporations that don't succumb to those fascists. Hungary stifles dissent in that way, because companies not in their circles might give campaign money to the opposition.

Fiivemacs,

They wanna pair your profiles with all the images they have been stealing from their Tesla’s…
