Yes which is why other countries were notified first so they didn't retaliate automatically. A lot more discussion goes on behind closed doors than most people realize.

It's ironic to me because from what I have seen in many technical online communities at least, places that have an established code of conduct seem to have an extremely difficult time dealing with opinions they happen to not like, which to me is the opposite of their own CoC terms such as tactful, respectful, safe and inclusive. Instead the opinions they don't like are weaponized using the other negative terms they list such as anti-social, unhelpful, trolling, controversial etc. Basically I guess it's all left up to interpretation by the mods as to how/if to handle those situations, which was already the case anyway.

I thought if the device was off, or just booted, or in lockdown mode, then biometrics could not be used without entering the password first?

No, there is no way to prevent sites from uploading the info besides just not providing it in the first place.

And because of how programming languages work, there's no way for the browser to identify that data being uploaded "is" anything specific, especially when there's things like encryption, obfuscation or just re-arranging the data itself into larger collections of data.

I wish this were true in practice.

I have been dealing with a crazy ex-friend who as it turns out is a felon who was already dinged for gun possession from a previous felony and now that I have new evidence of it happening again the police do not care at all, even though he harasses me constantly from different phone numbers every day.
