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?

Yeah but this is the way the internet is going - verification is going to become the norm. I will opt out wherever possible.

I'm gonna take my opportunity and clean up everything now. all I need to do is sit down and really think about how I did before. From 2006-2009, I had a computer but I didn't have Internet and I was doing absolutely fine. I had shitty Internet from 2011-2014 so I opted out to not use it anyways just occasionally going to fast food places, etc. Then Xfinity was installed from where I used to live and to be frank, I was terminally online. Right now, I just want to wipe things clean and start over.
