Hell no. As soon as I see a new privacy policy, that's the time I delete my Twitter account.

I know it's X now, but I subscribed to Twitter and will call it like that.

There's no need to indulge Elon Musk just because he's rich, he's a spoiled kid.

No, the time is now, it was yesterday,… months ago. Please people, stop fooling yourself.

But that would require caring enough to put the effort into deleting the account.

I'd rather just leave my account unused and taking up space. Then I don't have to visit the site.

Went ahead and deleted today, wasn't an active user, but it's not a platform I want to support in the slightest.

Don't deadname Elon's platform. Elon would never deadname people... Oh wait.

This is what is takes for you to leave that dying platform? THIS? Really? Not the hundreds of reasons up to now? Social media addicts are wild, man.
