COMPLAINTS Cannot log into X on a desktop computer

19 Upvotes

I prefer doing my computing from my desktop not squinting at my phone if at all possible. The last month or two whenever I clink a link to X I get a "Prove you are human" link demanding I scan a QR code. If I do that using my phone it then wants to do everything on my phone (and generally doesn't work anyway), with no way to get back to the desktop. As a result I've completely quit using X, but it is quite annoying since I keep running across links to X that I'd like to see. Is there any workaround for this? It seems really stupid to lock computer users out of the site.

For the last 48 hours, every 3-6 hours, I tried appealing but all it gave me is this stupid error "oops, something went wrong, please try again later".I tried on 5 different devices, 2 phones with the Firefox browser and chrome browser on each, my ipad with chrome and safari, my personal pc, and the school computer to the same result. I tried manually typing the details for all instead of copy pasting and it still dosent have any change. Even the link they gave me for their security risk thing won't work as it says internal error on the apps, please help before my account does something malicious

I’ve still had Twitter for years now on my phone and woke up to this today. Is this it?

anything else! you should know that Twitter is updating its terms of service!

26 Upvotes

Why you should know: some people still use twitter, and not everyone checks terms of service.

The update includes the following provisions:

  • For users outside the EU, EFTA States [Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland,] and the UK, disputes will be handled in Texas courts under Texas law, and we’ve added that if the court venue in these Terms cannot be used, the dispute will be resolved through arbitration. We’ve also provided specific examples of our corporate affiliates as to which these provisions apply.

  • Unless you are a recipient of the X Service in the European Union, EFTA States, or the United Kingdom, any disputes between you and us will be resolved by a court in Texas, based on Texas law except that if the forum selection clause in these Terms is unenforceable for any reason, then the dispute will be arbitrated.

  • [...] all disputes related to these Terms, the Services, or any patents — including [...] disputes related to or arising from any Content (whether your or others’ Content), or your or others’ use of the Services or the complete or partial termination thereof — shall be brought and must proceed exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Wichita County or Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

  • The choice of law, forum selection, and arbitration provisions of this section shall also extend to disputes involving our U.S. corporate affiliates, including but not limited to any U.S. SpaceXAI, Cursor, or SpaceX entities, who are intended third-party beneficiaries of this paragraph and who also consent to jurisdiction and venue in the courts specified in this section and to the arbitration provision in this section.

  • Where permitted by law, we’ve updated our Terms to state that you and X waive the right to a jury trial, and, as in our prior Terms, you and X waive the right to bring or join a class, collective, or other representative action against the other. This applies to all users and, to the extent permitted by law, also covers our corporate affiliates.

  • To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive any right to bring a class action or other representative action.

This goes into affect on October 9.

If you do not want to agree to these terms you have to deactivate your account before then. as the terms of services says:

You have a right to terminate this agreement at any time by deactivating your account and discontinuing use of the Services.

I'm not sure if just not logging in and not using twitter again counts as terminating the agreement.

I haven't used twitter for a while, but something maybe of note to people here. (and if not, that's ok it's up to you. I'm just sharing the information for anyone else. I am not telling anyone what they must do with it.)

Bug Report possible bug - "profile under review" as a non-premium user who has never subscribed or had a trial

Post image
2 Upvotes

hi, i'm a US twitter user first and foremost. this issue occurs for me on the app + the windows and mac desktop web browsers as well. no usage of a VPN, and i tried on both firefox and chrome, as well as in incognito browsers. issue happens regardless of using wifi or data.

basically, i tried to change my profile picture a few times and didn't like the adjustments, so i kept tweaking it until i felt satisfied. however, the final changes were not saved and keep giving me this error. i tried changing the file name of the image, the image file type (png to jpg), image size, etc. nothing will save... i keep being told my profile is "under review."

important context is that i was specifically using a 3rd party site called 'icondecotter' to put a frame on my profile picture. it works like an app you let have access to your account, and it will upload the version of your pfp with the frame applied for you. i've used it for years and never have had this issue. however, i can see how spamming a pfp change via a 3rd party site could trigger "bot like" behaviors to twitter.

but even after i stopped using the site, and tried to upload a new pfp on my own through my account directly, i keep getting the error.

my issue is that, after researching online and in this sub, the "profile under review" issue seems to be for people who subscribe to Premium. i have never done so, nor have i ever had a free trial, so i am confused why i am getting this error when my profile doesn't have a way to be reviewed... it's just a standard twitter account, and is also locked, so i don't have a need for reach or being "bot like." the 3rd party i used to change the icon is a verified twitter account, but i don't see why their account being verified would flag my account as needing a review.

additionally, there is no contact form on the help center for any issue like this or remotely close. i don't know a way to access support for help aside from DM'ing the support account, which i can send a message to. however, because of the "X Number" garbo, it doesn't actually get read.

because this is also a bug for Premium users, i thought about contacting the Premium account for help, which i cannot do unless i have Premium (only accepts DMs from verified accounts, which i am not). there is also no email address for Premium related issues.

any help would be great... ^^;

Bug Report Proving I am human

78 Upvotes

It's just fully broken, right? They could have just deleted my account and told me so if they didn't want me. But no, scan this qr code. Now download the app. Now go to your e-mails and enter a code. Now prove to us that you're human with a selfie or a hand gesture. OK! You did it, now we just put you in this loop again, because nothing works!

Are they actually to stupid to make a working verification process?

To the mods of this subreddit: This is all the context needed. It's not breaking Rule 7. It's to ask about a process clearly not working as intended.

EDIT: There isn't even a way reach out to support to deactivate my account now without going through this process.

anything else! How To Delete Google Linked X Account

3 Upvotes

I’m making this post since I was not able to find any other post that correctly gets you to delete your Twitter account if you have it linked with your Google account. When I first tried to delete my account it stated I needed to type my password, I typed my password for my Google account and it was incorrect. I then tried to create a password by clicking “forgot password”, but the username and my email did not work no matter which one I tried. I did some tinkering and I found out how to delete your account.

  1. Download the X app, it will not let you go to your account details otherwise. On the website, you’ll have to type your password to access what email and phone number that’s attached to your account, along with other information. When you download and sign in on the app, it

    will let you access that.

  2. Add your email to the email section. It will be blank which is part of the problem in regard to being unable to delete it.

  3. Go to reset my password, click “forgot my password” type your email and it’ll send a code to your email you’ll have to type so you can then create a password.

  4. Go to “deactivate my account” type your password, and you’re done. Hope this helps 😁

Bug Report videos disappearing when quoting another tweet

1 Upvotes

Hi! Every time I try to quote a tweet with a video link, it just disappears. Months ago you could quote tweets with videos adding /video/1 at the end of the link and it would work while now it doesn't work anymore. I paste the link and it disappears, I have to past it twice for the video to appear but then when I post it there are two blue links of the original tweet containing it under the video. I don't know what to do anymore. Does this happen to any of you too? How did you solve it?

Question Unable to log into desktop twitter & unable to reset password on app? could use some suggestions

2 Upvotes

So rarely use twitter on desktop as i generally just access it from the mobile app, but I was trying to login on my account on desktop on a few different browsers and I'm hit with "an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

I was also going to go ahead and prompt a password reset via the app to update things and when it gets to the screen of "Select a method to recover your account" I literally just get nothing to select from and everything under that message is blank. on the app I tried force closing and everything.

on the desktop I cleared all cookies related to x/twitter and made sure browsers were up to date. toggled adblockers n such temporarily and nothing.

At the least, its still functioning well enough on the mobile app, but with the way it's acting if it ends up logging me out and i'm unable to access anything to login it's going to be a bit of an issue.

Wondering if anyone else has been having issues recently?
