Starting next month, X’s updated privacy policy will entitle it to collect some users’ biometric data and other personal information.

Under the revised policy, which takes effect September 29, X (formerly known as Twitter) “may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security and identification purposes” so long as the user provides consent.

The biometric data collection is for X Premium users only, the company told CBS MoneyWatch when reached for further information.

    Good! Then convince all those companies and celebrities to use some better platform. Until then that’s what we have.

      There’s actual news outlets whose entire thing is sharing properly researched news. Anything else is a crapshoot at best.

      Companies and celebrities who use X exclusively, well idk. Sucks, right?
