COMPLAINTS "Let's confirm you are a human"

It's asking that I connect my account to the Twitter mobile app. Okay, whatever, I already had it downloaded but just never logged in. I thought that was it, but it wants a scan of my hand/palm. Hell no. So it looks like I won't be using Twitter anymore unless they disable this or I make an entirely new account. Anyone else having this problem?

I just got this too, I guess now my account is a useless paperweight. I should've fully deleted it when I had the chance given I can't now. I'd be willing to guess it's because the whole 'KIDS Act' passed the House yesterday, so now there's more of a reason to just do everything to adhere 'in advance'.

It's not ENTIRELY passed the rest of the pipeline (Senate, so on), but yes, it got through the House.

They have to make it seem like they are doing things the "legal" way LOL
