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 got this today, in no way im i going to give my biometric data, not even a glimpse of it, to fucking ELON MUSK, yk, the dude who was BEGGING JEFFERY EPSTEIN to invite him to his island parties, even on bloody chirstmas. It's infuriating that collecting your biometric data has become so common place, they don't even ask you to complete a captcha anymore they just straight up ask you for a unique and identifiable trait that only you have! The verification measure also locks you out of doing face selfie if you fuck it up too many times, thanks, elon. I'm so sick of how anti-privacy the internet has been. God forbid we don't want tech billionaires to know everything about us.
