I as an end user of an app shouldn't have to go through every feature, how it is implemented and if that meets my personal privacy bar. Sensible defaults are important.

- autoexec 2y agoWhat Texas is doing here is telling companies that they don't need your permission to steal your facial recognition data. Companies just need to consider that after several years of profiting from that facial recognition data they might one day have to pay just a tiny fraction of the money they make to the state of Texas. Cost of doing business really.
