New update by X/Twitter forces users who are locked out of their accounts for "inauthentic behaviour" to provide biometrics(selfie, face ID or video of their palms) to prove that they're not bots.

Hooray! Fewer people on twitter is a good thing for all of humanity. I hope all of them get locked out of their accounts for inauthentic behavior, and they keep instituting even more extreme hurdles for people to come back until eventually nobody does. Kill the platforms. Kill them with fire.
And then launch them (on a Space X firework) into the sun.
How are the millions of bots supposed to verify themselves now? X is about to lose 95% of its activity.
My favorite quote from a post-surgery instruction packet (which required not smoking due to the location of the operation) was something along the lines of:
Can I start smoking again?
You have been nicotine-free for 10 weeks. You do not need to start smoking again.
If you’ve been locked out of your Twitter account and haven’t had access to it for a while because of that, then you’ve already gone that long without it. You don’t need to go back.
Exactly why the internet should be the fediverse - corporations have too much power and are sanitizing the internet.
I fell off my bike the other day and scabbed up my palms. Would I just be fucked if I had a twitter account?
Face ID or selfie are still options, I guess. But I recommend you take it as a perma-lockout.

Good thing I’ve never used, nor will I ever, use that garbage platform!
