> The scary part, which is vast dystopian databases of facial fingerprints is already being done with normal photographs. The depth data is not needed Exactly what I've said from day one - that Apple's "FaceID is 50x more secure than Touch ID" claim, based on the False Acceptance Rate, was total bullshit. That only works if you're going to throw random data at the authentication mechanism. But someone who's going to target you isn't going to do that. It's going to you a 3D profile of your face from your online photos or from CCTV cameras (to which not only the government has access, but hackers, too). In practice, it's much more difficult to gain a clone of someone's fingerprint than it is to gain a clone of their 3D face.
