I read this towards the end of August. I finally deactivated my Twitter account which has been "restricted" since April. So long and thanks for all the fish.

Don't have a Twitter account will never have a Twitter account.
Actually, given that biometric data is permanent, it should be very interesting to see the EU get its hands on this.
That’s just the price of the internet these days. Gotta click “Accept” on the terms and conditions. Gotta spit into the cup for the DNA tracking. Gotta take a selfie with a drivers license. Gotta send a certified letter from your home address after it’s been notorized by a notary. Gotta send in your social security card so it can be analysed and mailed back to you. Gotta get a full blood panel and dental records sent in for verification. Gotta take a photo of yourself nude and send it into the US copyright office. Gotta install the eye tracking software with the penile insert peripheral when it arrives.
But you know, it’s worth it if I get to send 1000 characters of non-elon-related-text on X.
