Is Twittex now going to sell weed or why do they want driver license photos?

✅ Biometrics and ID stored forever who-knows-where

✅ Continued data mining and exploitation

✅ Total surveillance state

💩 The enshittification continues. Gotta love it.

Seriously though... I'm not bullish on this platform. I don't know what it's turning into, but if it truly is a "WeChat of the West," it's not something I'm interested in participating in. And I don't wanna have a hand in building it.

In this route, it means that X would really become an identity platform.

And us being on this platform gives it value. Gives it validity.

I wonder every single day if it makes sense to leave the platforms in protest, or stay in the belly of the beast and raise awareness from within.

I see value in both, but I don't think there's a way to know which is the "correct" or "best" approach until you have hindsight.

Either way, it's clear that we don't matter for anything other than exploitation. The business model doesn't allow for anything else, really.

I already hated twitter before, but this is a whole new league of bullshit.
