    it is false. it is not uploading a photo of yourself that makes this a bad thing.

    You still don’t seem to understand. I’ll try to explain it more simply:

    If you’ve uploaded a photo of yourself with PII data (eg. your name), then that information can be scraped and used by ethically void companies (most of them) to build a database with your information on it. All without your knowledge or consent.

    the major part that makes it bad that these systems are recording, and uploading data

    Irrelevant to the point I was making, and it doesn’t falsify or contradict anything I’ve said.

      that’s not what I debate, sorry. if you look at it that way, we all might have lost that battle, without exceptions, because of gov ID photos.

      my point is that the battle is not lost by facial recognition companies getting your photo, but when your area uses cameras related to a facial recognition company, and your community cannot get rid of them.
