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.

FYI, nitter doesn’t work anymore or, at least they’re having a very hard time trying to make it work again and again.
It works for me.
Sure, but if you rely on Nitter in any way, you may want to have a look at their GitHub issues page. I really hope they can still provide the service as long as X exists.
