Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!
How do you open your phone? Finger print?
I use a code, and I also use CalyxOS.
This makes me irrationally angry. I feel like if I saw that shit in real life I would have to put in effort not to smash it.
If you don't like it, don't use it. It's extremely presumptuous to assume your extent views on this matter is the only right view to the point you think it's ok to enforce that view on everyone else.
It's just part of the creeping evil of surveillance. Fuck giant corporations. They shouldn't be allowed to basically fingerprint their customers and put it in a database.
Why is surveillance inherently evil? Secondly if other people don't care about this, who are you to deny them what they consider a convenience and don't have a problem with? What gives you a right to impose your beliefs on others?
What part of creeping evil don't you understand? It's the boiling frog. As time goes on we have less and less privacy.
Because you haven't actually explained what makes it evil. Just claimed that it is. Also using a slippery slope argument is always a sign of bs.
Why is less privacy inherently evil of the people giving up their privacy is doing so willingly and don't care for it?
I assume you don't take showers in public. We all have things we wish to keep private. When we give up some privacy we never get it back.
If people paid me to, I absolutely would. As long as i get some benefit in return, I don't care for privacy.
Wow. What a shitty way to live.
Not being paranoid about some imaginary evil? It's actually great. You should try it instead of making enemies of shit that don't matter.
Seeing that you are angry enough that you are willing to destroy private propertyto impose your own paranoid beliefs on others, you should try it, it might help your mental health.
I don't get the issue with it ? Why wouldn't fingerprint be the best way to pay for stuff ?
The #MythBusters know why this is not a good idea.
For the same reason this isn't a good idea. Privacy aside, when your biometrics get leaked (and they will), you'll have no recourse, because biometrics are literally a part of your body and you can't change them.
How do biometrics get leaked ? Can they 3d print my finger ? What difference does it make to all my dsta getting sold on the daily ? I don't see how it changes things
