“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.

    We’re not in china but this technocratic dictatorship is happening all around the world, it’s just a matter of time. In Brazil we already have a government app which centralizes your info so that you only have access to some public services if you send them things like selfie/id and driver’s license/link you bank account/vaccination burocracy shit, etc. and by doing that you get ranks like bronze/silver/gold which then you have access to those public (or free) services.

    Not only that but Brazil already named it’s CBDC, it’s called Drex, in collaboration with Amazon and Ethereum it’ll enter the market very soon and It’s all part of the world domination plans leaded by those ponerologic psycopaths.
