I bought something online yesterday.
They following fields were mandatory
- email
- phone
- address ( for delivery )
- first name
- last name
They created an account for some reason, and retain payment information was prechecked.
I just want the thing you are selling, here is my address. Thanks.
Another situation, paying a government fine.
They wanted me to verify my identity to give them money.
My address, Phone number DOB, middle name...
Asked me if they could save my voice profile..
Said I could not pay the fine until I verified my identity.
The lady got noticeable bothered when I said that would not be happening and I don't need to know any PII just process a payment.
Asked if I had something to hide.
What's next a biometric scan to enter government buildings?

- barrysteve 4y agoIf you wanted to be truly biometrically private nowadays, you'd need to wear a Darth Vader suit over a ghillie-suit and forest gump leg braces everywhere public, which includes inside your house. No face, electronic voice, no thermals or IR, no gait detection, height equalized by leg brace, gloves with fake finger prints. Of course you'd stand out like a sore thumb and that's the point, I'm sure it's been engineered that way to capture us all in the ideal panopticon. If you ever wanted to dodge the draft to the Vietnam war 2.0 or a bill collector with access to all this information, you'd have a very hard time.
