X asked for image of face to "Confirm your a human"
Tried to create an alt twitter account. Twitter wanted my face as collateral.
It said, “Confirm you’re a human – Before signing into X, we need to verify that you’re a real person. Your photo will never be stored or used to identify you. This check flashes different colors. Use caution if you are photosensitive.”
I gave it a try with face partially covered twice, both times it rejected the attempt. What I gave was enough to identify I am human, but I guess not enough to positively identify exactly WHICH human.

Why do you want to join the social network run by a Nazi?

Next time try scanning an image of a person you find online, should be enough for twitter.

If you just need to watch public X videos without signing in, use a tweet viewer that works without an X account. Just paste the post URL there.
