Agree. And the constant spying doesn't help either. Who wants an always online meta controlled camera/microphone in their bedroom all the time?

- ryandrake 1y agoI'm never going to update a photo government ID to some company just to use an app. What kind of a bonkers world are we living in? Totally ridiculous. No app is worth this.
- mikae1 1y agoMost new accounts seem to require a face scan too (finally they're true to their name?). I recently needed to get a Facebook account and was not able to use it without providing the scan. Luckily I was able to do an AI face swap, but far from everyone is that savvy.
- heavyset_go 1y agoSome sites outsource their ID verification to platforms that want live videos of different angles of your face, along with pictures of your ID. Literally all the data they could possibly need to build 3D models of your face for even better facial recognition, along with plenty of data to train models on. When that data eventually leaks, it will be interesting. It's insane that anyone puts up with it.

- bilekas 1y agoSome people also eat rocks, it doesn't mean it's common or even a good thing to do.
- 1oooqooq 1y agodesperate people do that. Scammer Altman went to Argentina during the peak economic crise of the century to make that offer. likewise, most USA government backed benefits require people to submit all sorts of biometric to a private company who used to monetize coupons for military deployed personel, called gov.id or something.
- throw-the-towel 1y agoI've seen them in Chile, which wasn't in crisis. Always had a queue waiting to be scanned.
- perihelions 1y ago> "that want live videos of different angles of your face" Hetzner (outsourcing to Idenfy) dared to demand this of me, three years ago. I'm still mad about it. > "When that data eventually leaks," Indeed, my understanding is these sensitive biometrics are generically (i) uploaded in full to a remote server, where they're (ii) retained for a nontrivial amount of time, because they need to be (iii) manually QA'd by humans. It's nothing like an iPhone's local-only biometrics enclave. My understanding's based on the specific case of Idenfy, and an ex-Idenfy HN'er explaining its workflow[0].

- martin_a 1y agoHetzner (in Germany) never did things like these to me. What were you trying to do with them?
- anal_reactor 1y agoLots of people, actually. This website is an echo chamber of those privacy-conscious.
- bigyabai 1y agoHN is typically slow to admit it, but Facebook and TikTok wouldn't be popular if you were wrong. Consumers don't care.

- t-3 1y agoPeople care about other people they meet spying on them or doing creepy things. They don't care about people they don't meet spying on them or doing creepy things, because they don't notice it and it has a very low chance of showing up in the social media feed of people they know.
- piltdownman 1y agoConsumers don't know or want to know rather - ignorance is bliss when it comes to getting Children to spend relatively quiet time independently. Otherwise the GOP would be virtue-signalling about getting Roblox as a platform getting banned due to the preponderance of predators and material unsuitable or unsafe for children.

- immibis 1y agoObjectively speaking, most people do. That's why Meta has so much money.
