X now wants your biometric data, as well as your job and education history for ‘safety, security, and identification purposes’::The company said it may use user data to train A.I. models.
But don’t you dare inquire about the location of Elon’s jet.
That would be so bad for the privacy of the owner of Twitter… Can’t let that happen to him! That is for the common folk!
I don’t know any real people that use twitter. Like they have accounts apparently, but they haven’t been used in over a decade.
That’s the funny part, it’s a botnet
I’m allowing my account to languish and block all their trackers and shit.
What the fuck is “X”
It’s just Twitter that is trying to rebrand so we forget how shitty they are.
What is Twitter ? /s
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more.
Whats all this shouting we don’t no trouble here! This is a local shop for local people!
Twitter trying to make fetch happen.
Next it’ll start recommending you to follow your classmates. Might even ask your coworkers and boss to follow your account as well. Who’s that “furrylover69” that starts to appear in your feed? Oh right, it’s Steve from accounting.
I’m feeling a fat fine in EU. Can’t wait.
Repeat after me…get fucked Elon.
He’s one of a handful of people in my book who do not have the honour of being called by their name.
A huge “No thank you”!!!
Elon Musk is still getting owned on his own platform and is assembling the most sophisticated ad hominem generator known to man.
“Elon the state of Tesla bodywork is unacceptable and at this rate the Cybertruck will never launch”
CALCULATING RESPONSE: BIOMETRIC DATA SUGGESTS USER BMI ABOVE AVERAGE
“Yeah well you’re fat fucking gotem”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Key changes in the updated version include clauses about X collecting users’ biometric data as well as information on their employment and educational backgrounds.
The firm already used user data for various purposes, including personalizing its services, conducting research and surveys, and “fostering safety and security”—all of those practices will continue to stand under the new privacy policy.
For example, fingerprint or facial recognition could enable more secure and convenient user authentication, while education and job history data could facilitate networking and professional opportunities.
He explained that it was possible for companies or even governments to misuse this information for monitoring purposes without users’ consent, while storing education and job histories could inadvertently lead to discriminatory practices.
First, if the use of these markers gets broader adoption, it might establish a system where it becomes virtually impossible to remain anonymous on the net, further eroding the very notion of online privacy.”
Pantaleoni drew a parallel to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s plans to scan billions of people’s eyes in exchange for cryptocurrency.
The original article contains 820 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
While the potential misuse of highly personal information by private companies is indeed a concern, I believe we may be overlooking a key point that the article doesn’t fully address: Musk’s ambition to create a “super app”. I haven’t delved deeply into this concept, but I’ve pondered it a bit. The question that comes to mind is: why would someone choose to develop an app for Twitter instead of Android or iOS?
Apart from the obvious advantage of not having to develop for two separate platforms, there’s also the benefit of user identification. This, I believe, will be a major draw for many services. The ability to verify a user’s identity at the ID level, even down to their fingerprint, is a significant advantage. From a technical standpoint, it’s impressive, but consider the legal implications as well. It’s incredibly convenient for those offering sensitive services.
If this approach proves successful and attracts companies, government entities, and so on, and if Twitter becomes the platform where we can easily renew our driving licenses, pay municipal taxes, and handle other tedious tasks, would we be willing to exchange our personal data for such convenience? Perhaps those of us reading this comment wouldn’t, at least initially, but I suspect the majority of people would.
I believe the Chinese already have it.
Apple isn’t far behind. Transferring funds, iPhones have biometric authentication, GPS in every phone, account mandated. The future is handed to our technical overlords on a platter for a bit of convenience.
They do, it’s called Weibo and Elon has explicitly said he’s trying to make an app like it
So they can sell ads safe and secure to those who will be hit hardest by them?
Musk/Zuckerburg are magnitudes worse and more criminal than the Chinese/Russian governments.
