This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

I’m waiting for the selfie required logins. Right now, you log into YouTube or anything else with that user base and they want a selfie and a phone number. YouTube even asks for your address. You can skip. For now.

Oh, yeah. Like those memes with selfie logins to unlock a toilet or fridge.

You log in and then the AI agent will summarize what you're watching and contact the authorities in case it flags you suspicious? How dystopian!

Sorta feels like iOS Face ID played a role in normalizing this for the general public
