X wants permission to start collecting your bio data and employment history
X is expanding the amount of data it collects.
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Wow. Get fucked Elon.
I was keeping my account open but disused, but that's enough. I'm deleted now.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The social network has updated its privacy policy to include carveouts for “biometric information” and “employment history,” as spotted by Bloomberg.
X Corp. was named in a proposed class action lawsuit in July over claims that its data collection violates the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.
The lawsuit alleges that X “has not adequately informed individuals” that it “collects and/or stores their biometric identifiers in every photograph containing a face” that’s uploaded to the platform.
According to findings from app developer Steve Moser, X plans on rolling out support for passkeys, which can use your device’s fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN to log in to your account.
The platform rolled out the beta of a hiring feature for companies last week and also plans on adding video and audio calls with “no phone number needed.”
The current privacy policy, which you can read here, makes no mention of the collection of biometric data or information related to employment history.
