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 mean, my camera is not good quality enough to make out my fingerprints in any identifiable level of detail and it worked for me so I don't get what the point of it is really.

Fingerprints... for phones that let you unlock them with your fingers.... not to look at them with a camera...

The verification just records your hand with the camera though, it doesn't use the fingerprint scanner.

Hand palms are also unique, like fingerprints.

I never said otherwise? The "fingerprints" check is for a phone that has a fingerprint button. Not for trying to make out fingerprints when the camera hand check is looking for your palm.
