This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I figure that by being in the airport there's enough footage of my face from security cameras that I didn't consent to (other than by being in public) that the scan of my face while boarding is moot.
Opting out of this face scan in particular is like using Chrome to browse the web, but searching with DuckDuckGo "for privacy reasons"
There is a reason I wear a large hat and a mask when walking through the airport and generally keep my head tilted down. I also wear large sunglasses, but that's as much because every airport has at least one giant wall that is nothing but glass and inevitably I will walk around a corner and get face fucked by the sun. The privacy is just a bonus 😅
The last time I flew they did this, but there was a huge sign that said photos are immediately deleted after verification...is this not true?
Just for example, that's an easy way to save just the biometric signature and have very few people question it.
Interesting how addicted government is to collecting data.
"Normies" avoiding scanning their face is useless because the vast majority of them still use Instagram and other social media services full of surveillance
Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches,
I know you're using the acceptable legal term.
As a Cybersecurity person, the "potential" data breaches we talk about, today, are really pretty certain, at this point, in history.
We may work towards a collective genuine 'potential', where the breach might never happen, someday, with effort.
Turns chair around and sits straddling it like a cool youth mentor.
Y'alls faces at airports are definitely getting leaked on the dark web.
The good news is it might take enough years to leak that your appearance might happen to change in between.
