This is silly. They’re being penalized for not adding a legal form to their onboarding. There’s no real option to say no. Biometric auth is a condition of employment. If you can’t say no it’s not consent. The punitive judgement would in no way protect citizens from future abuses. It’d just make every company spend more on lawyers. I don’t disagree with protecting people from having their biometric data collected without consent, I just don’t think another page of incomprehensible legal bullshit in your hiring packet does anything to protect anyone. Again it’s not consent if you can’t say no. If it’s a condition of employment many vulnerable people cannot say no.
