X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history
theverge.com

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the privacy policy reads. It doesn’t include any details on what kind of biometric information this includes — or how X plans to collect it — but it typically involves fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features.

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.

X Corp is slowly moving to fulfill any evil corp prophesy that we thought are only limited to fictional writing. The name (X Corp) too is straight out of some dystopian novel.

Elon looks and acts a whole lot like the evil cunt business man villain in 5th element Zorg.....

Except Zorg was smart!

(And how dare you compare the looks of Elon to our glorious genius chameleon actor lord and savior Gary Oldman!?!? 🫨)
