Victoria Derbyshire, "Elon Musk had already hit out, calling the UK a police state" "Adding, the real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone" Speaking of tracking people, here are 30 ways Twitter does it: 1.

Device identifiers 7. Browser fingerprinting signals (browser type, screen size, language settings, etc.) 8. Mobile advertising IDs (Android Advertising ID, Apple Advertising Identifier where available) 9. Location data (GPS if permitted, IP-based location, Wi-Fi/network information) 10. Contact uploads (if you grant access) 11. Email address and phone number 12. Payment information (for paid services) 13. Cross-device matching (linking your phone, tablet, and computer to the same user) 14. Embedded X posts on third-party websites 15. X Pixel tracking on external websites 16. Websites using X advertising or conversion tools 17. Apps using X SDKs or integrations 18. Login with X integrations on third-party sites 19. Ad interactions and conversions 20. Inferred interests and behavioural profiling 21. Social graph analysis (who you follow, interact with, and are connected to) 22. Content analysis of posts, messages, and media 23. Network and connection information (mobile carrier, ISP, network type) 24. Diagnostic and crash reports from the app 25. Approximate location derived from activity patterns 26. Data obtained from advertising partners and data providers 27. Engagement with videos (watch time, rewatches, completion rates) 28. Search history on the platform 29. Hashtags, topics, and communities you engage with 30. Account recovery and security information
