I didn’t want to delete a lot of my internet history, but feels like I might actually need to.
I already did back everything up via a GDPR data request though.
Any product that wants to extend its reach this far does not have your interest in mind. It is only about making more money.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the new policy says.
The current privacy policy that doesn’t include collecting biometric data and employment history will remain in effect until September 29.
The call feature will work on iOS, Android, Mac, and PCs and will not require a phone number, according to Musk.
“X is the effective global address book” for the forthcoming video and audio call service, Musk wrote.
For example, the 2022 settlement requires assessments of risks to privacy, security, and confidentiality before Twitter launches new or modified products and services.
Musk’s massive layoffs also fueled a new FTC investigation into whether the company has enough resources to protect users’ privacy.

Née? Do english speakers use “born” in french as a substitute for formerly?
It’s used for indicating someone’s maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.
I mean yeah in france it is, don’t you use born in english?
Sometimes, but in more official writing (like a bio or even Wikipedia) we’ll use née. Just another word the English language stole from other languages 😂
Sometimes, but née is a more… Academic way of putting it. Like how academic papers use Latin phrases rather than their colloquial versions in English.
good luck with trademarking
X, you fucking twats(sorry, bad tweet/twat dadjoke)
