X plans to collect biometric information, job, education history for safety, security, and identification purposes. - Lemmy.world

“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.

Just for you guys to know, a Saudi teacher got death sentence over tweets, cuz it is linked to his identity, and now Elon even wants more specific data from users? People need to give up on Twitter!

Apparently, Elon did not get any lesson from the Saudi man’s death at all. Its so important for people to remain anonymous in the digital world.

Try this guys: wiremin.org

From my experience so far on this decentralized social network, it has the ability to replace Twitter for those who care about privacy and are concerned with data breaches.

  • Using an Anonymous ID, it does not require either an email or a phone number when creating accounts.
  • It is decentralized, with no central cloud server to store our data.
  • There is no censorship; no one can ban your account or remove your content.
  • It connects the world widely, so no single country, government, or person can manipulate the content we see.
  • The feed/chat space, DMs, voice calls, and fast file/pic transfers are all end-to-end encrypted (E2EE).

The saudis are Elon’s friends. There is nothing there for him to learn from.

No censorship / unable to delete content? What happens when somebody decides to post illegal content like CP? I know that’s an easy target, but either it has a way to deal with that, or it’s going to attract a very scary crowd, at least as a subset.

Wiremin is closed source. Why would anyone use that over mastodon?
Show threaddilanSep 6, 2023
They are not the same.

There’s also mastodon and its part of the fediverse

Part of the problem is…people were suspended FOR NO REASON & now there data is not recoverable + they can’t delete their accounts.

They (I) are basically trapped.

(unless you live in a country that offers “user protections”…what a concept.)
