This is just how iPhones and MacBooks work
It's optional on the devices you mention. It's not a requirement. In the court case, there was no way for an employee to opt out, short of quitting.
My company (about 2,000 employees) issues iPhones to its employees. You are given a choice of face scanning or fingerprint scanning device. You do not have to use either method: you can choose a suitably long PIN, instead.
If you choose to use biometric access, HR send your a 15-page document to sign, and you have to take an online course about biometric privacy.
I think if more companies did that, society wouldn't be so casual with giving away their biometric data.
- astrange 4y agoThat's silly since there are no biometric privacy risks to enrolling in Touch ID (it doesn't save images or let anyone view them). Otherwise you'd have to take a class after buying a phone.

- GauntletWizard 4y agoWe are incredibly casual about giving away our biometric data - most societies don't constantly wear face masks (with obvious exceptions for women in the middle east), the past few years excepted. Gloves aren't that common either. You leave your face and your fingerprints everywhere, if anyone is looking. They're just not, typically, because it doesn't matter.
