X's new privacy policy allows it to collect users' biometric data - eviltoast

Starting next month, X’s updated privacy policy will entitle it to collect some users’ biometric data and other personal information.

Under the revised policy, which takes effect September 29, X (formerly known as Twitter) “may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security and identification purposes” so long as the user provides consent.

The biometric data collection is for X Premium users only, the company told CBS MoneyWatch when reached for further information.

    I never said every news outlet does good work, did I.

    Yes, many people who call themselves journalists for some reason don’t look further than Twitter, and that’s a problem too

      Maybe you’re better at finding news sources but I laughed because I can’t really think of event a decent outlet, let alone one where I’d think they do genuinely good work.

      Many people who call themselves journalist nowadays are just literal bots with a tiny bit of editorial oversight.
