The social media platform also plans to gather information on users' jobs and education histories.

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.

          LMAO “properly researched news”. What alternative universe do you live in?

          Also, where do you think those actual news outlets get their information from? Most of the time it’s twitter again.

              Maybe you’re better at finding news sources but I laughed because I can’t really think of event a decent outlet, let alone one where I’d think they do genuinely good work.

              Many people who call themselves journalist nowadays are just literal bots with a tiny bit of editorial oversight.
