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!

    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.

                  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.
