Big businesses can afford that… Will ya let smaller ones or hobbyists off the hook?

I ain’t giving out my home address like it’s a passport boarder crossing. How do I tell if the faceID given over the internet is from that person? Could be a dog.

Smaller ones are often the most fri he a d problematic so no, they’re not off the hook. Same way you wouldn’t give your credit card to a rando shop online.

Your Face ID would need to be registered somewhere else with to validate that you registered your face and not your dog. Big problems need big solutions.

What suggests to you smaller ones are the most problematic?? When I think of younger people interacting online I think of big places like TikTok, I don’t think of a random mastodon server.

The issue is not that a dog turned up to get a picture of their face, it’s that if I have a picture of your face now I can pretend to be you. Woof.

Think about 8chan and other underground social sites that are breeding grounds for radicalized youth.

Apple has pictures of all of our faces. Companies have your voice if they want. It’s too late to worry about that. Anybody can be you if they want to. Eventually they could do it with a single photo if not already.
