This convinced me to finally delete my bird corpse account. They say this shit is optional and even "premium" for now but I for one don't want to be doxxed by a whoopsie automatic opt-in to scrape data off my device.

You'd think that at least some of the techno-libertarians would remember that data harvesting is a bad thing. Like, if they're going to build their identity crying about "censorship by woke communist big tech" then they could get an easy PR win by "not spying on you, unlike the government Silicon Valley elites" (even if they'd be lying about that). Even the cryptobros managed to pretend to care about privacy like that.
The only upside is that it'll be really funny when some rich and powerful Elon cultist's personal data is inevitably leaked.
Edit: It'd also be easy to make a pretend justification for their $8 bluechecks and X cryptocoins that way. Like, "our revolutionary new business model lets us make money by blah blah blah verification blah blah blah web3 instead of spying on users".

Reminds me of the graph I saw that shows how five or six years ago, appearances of the term "spyware" basically fell to zero because that's just a fundamental of how almost every piece of software works now
This would be to "recommend potential jobs for you, to share with potential employers when you apply for a job".
