Sadly if you want to travel these days face scans are unavoidable. I still avoid them for commercial services, but yeah. Fly to europe or any major US city and you are going to be made to submit to a face scan to get through security.
Yes, but at the very LEAST, it’s being done by a government controlled entity that’s subject to data security auditing and some sort of regulated process for handling that data.
These social media services are going to hold on to those scans, sell them for advertising data, and store them on dubiously secured servers.
For all its problems, a democratically elected government will always be better than some rich guy who wants to rip you off and make as much money as possible.
Oh for sure I just wouldn’t want anyone having my face scan personally. I’d love to have a law passed that designated biometric data as personal property requiring a warrant or explicit consent to collect.

I would posit that the government is even worse for handling this data. See recent FBI hack and not as recent OPM hack.

Tell me you’re from the US without telling me you’re from the US.
I… mentioned the US in my comment?
Yeah but do it again this time without telling me first.
My school was in lockdown again this week for a possible active shooter.
It’s written basically as if the reader is also expected to be American.
Which annoyed me.
But I’ve had a rough week. Never mind me.
Well I can’t speak to what its like in places I’ve never been.
Tell me you can’t speak to places you have never been before without telling me.
