“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.

    You’re never going to get the corps to stop sucking each other off. Microsoft is inescapable in business sectors as of right now. Doing without Amazon or Google requires a moderate amount of willpower. The biggest issue is the sheer number of people who just don’t give a fuck.

    “Babe, these corporations want to enslave our children, please stop buying the coffee”

    “I can’t its so good, they won’t imprison our children.”

    Fucking shoot me.

      “Babe, these corporations want to enslave our children, please stop buying the coffee”

      "I can’t its so good, they won’t imprison our children.”

      “‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.”
