What exactly do you need examples of?
There have already been cases of people having their YouTube and Gmail accounts blocked because of their politics[0] and app stores are notorious for banning apps (and thus businesses) that allow access to legal but politically-unpopular speech[1][2]. You might argue that this censorship is a positive thing, or at least legal, for these platforms to do, but I don't know why you would call my concerns "fake FUD".
I admit I was using the phrase "I don't like your face" as it's a provocative idiom, but this article is about a technology which stores pictures of people's faces, and is activated by a picture of their face, so the real issue is that companies might react negatively to what's behind someone's face — that is, their opinions and beliefs — and lock them out of this facial recognition ecosystem.

- yunohn 5y agoNone of your examples have anything to do with the commenter’s faces, and everything to do with their hate speech and/or rule breaking. You’ve linked stories about Jordan Peterson, Dissenter, and Unjected as if they prove your point about biometric authentication, so I’m going to stop commenting now. I prefer not to feed trolls.
- dane-pgp 5y agoIt sounds like you took my comment about not liking faces too literally. I apologise if my metaphorical use of language was ambiguous, and I can only take comfort from the fact that the people who upvoted my original comment seemed to have understood my choice of idiom.
