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.

    Hell no. As soon as I see a new privacy policy, that’s the time I delete my Twitter account.

    I know it’s X now, but I subscribed to Twitter and will call it like that.

    There’s no need to indulge Elon Musk just because he’s rich, he’s a spoiled kid.

      No, the time is now, it was yesterday,… months ago. Please people, stop fooling yourself.

        I deleted my account as soon as the takeover got official. Fuck Elon. People still staying on Twitter are delusional.

        I know, there are some artists who depend on their following on Twitter for exposure. But I think they can band together and pick a Mastodon instance to migrate to and direct their followers. That would be better than having your account suspended without reason or get doxxed because you submitted your government ID to Twitter and they got hacked.

          What was the deletion process like? Did you have to provide any additional data like a phone number or id?

            No, just provide my email with lots of are you sure you want to delete your account? prompts. But this happened on the day of the acquisition so our beloved poopy muskrat wasn’t able to sink his grubby little hands on Twitter yet.

        But that would require caring enough to put the effort into deleting the account.

        I’d rather just leave my account unused and taking up space. Then I don’t have to visit the site.

          It’s really easy. On web version, just goto “More” on the left hand nav. Goto Account Settings, at the bottom there’s a button that says Deactivate account. After 30 days it’ll be deleted if you don’t log back in.
