I may have discovered a surveillance problem.

I am not active on Elon Musk's X platform, but from time to time I view certain X accounts for information on the Ukraine war.

Yesterday when opening the X app, my phone's camera turned on, revealed by the green light lighting up for 2 seconds. This has not happened to me before.

I cannot say for certain, that X takes pictures of its users, but I am sharing this observation in hopes others will come forward, if they have experienced the same.

@randahl I'm glad I got rid of it while it was still Twitter. Life can be "interesting" enough without social media poking its nose in.

@randahl Are they in league with LG?

Intrusive surveillance to an unnecessary extreme.

@randahl That you have it installed at all is absolutely shocking to me.

@Gustodon I make political analyses. If Zelenskyy makes a statement, I need to know.

I loathe X, which is why I have not posted on the platform for years. But sources are where sources are.

@randahl I guess you could audit if you gave camera access in the first place (if android)

@randahl I'm pretty sure for that kind of use it'll be enough to use the browser

@randahl Don’t forget to put on your Edolf Muskler mask before using the X app!
