Two notes:
1) The article spoke mostly about the phone being used for authentication. This doesn't necessarily mean that the authentication system has vast amounts of PII.
2) If the authentication system does become the repository for vast amounts of personal data, then the concern is really for consolidation. You've already surrendered vast amounts of data to Visa, Amazon, Google, Apple, NetFlix, etc. Seems you're worried about it being consolidated.
- brudgers 16y agoThe ability to link an individual's financial data and purchasing history directly to their a complete history of their internet use would appear to be the one ring to rule them all in terms of advertising and data mining. I agree there is nothing that necessitates a phone based authentication system requiring vast amounts of PII. However, there are strong incentives toward collecting it and both companies have a history of doing so whenever possible.
