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.

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.

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.

This just reeks… What does this add to the conversation. Guess what they all suck and I don’t think we need to downplay the atrocities brought on by the Chinese and Russian governments.
