@capitainesam until you start abusing billionaires biometric data, nothing will ever happen... Even then only use of theirs will be quickly outlawed.

@capitainesam also, those biometric data will inevitably be leaked. One glimmer of hope is that bit rot will render them useless over time

@capitainesam Is it's actually biometric data, it's also tied to the algorithm used to calculate it. Too often, though, companies don't just store the biometric data, but the raw data such as an image of your face. They should not be doing that.

Depends on your climate - here in Scotland is is often just a matter of hours before the wind changes. #Folklaw

@capitainesam So maybe you combine biometrics with password/passkey?
One of the foundational stories of cyberpunk illustrated a defense against biometrics fraud. The hackers targeted a victim that used fingerprint login. They managed to get a copy of the victim's fingerprint and used it.
Then the victim's security system kicked in - because the victim always deliberately *failed* the first finger login and used their *second* finger login...
@dancingtreefrog @capitainesam ngl i wish of a registring a fingerprint which instead of unlock would just block it completely.

@capitainesam Thanks for the reminder; I'm overdue to rotate my retinas for this quarter.

@erindesu @capitainesam I've heard of Android apps that could do that, something phone owners could activate when under duress. Sorry, I don't know the names of any of them!

@dancingtreefrog @erindesu @capitainesam It's called lockdown mode and I think that's a standard android feature now (not OEM-dependent) available as an option after long press of a power button

@ananas @erindesu @capitainesam Ah, thanks! I knew Apple has that capability.

@capitainesam I know a man who could change your face - works for ICE

@capitainesam unless your profile photo is fake your face data leaked already. I am not sure I understand the concern about face biometrics in a world where we all expose this readily on social media.

@capitainesam Well yes, but you constantly leak your biometric data anyhow. That's why one should _never_ use it for authentication.

@capitainesam It’s not all bad: when my security questions got compromised, I got a puppy! (I didn’t want to change my dog’s name)

@capitainesam market opportunity: add face management to password managers. Generate different fake faces for each service. Automatically overlay fake faces and fake text details over passport scans.

@dancingtreefrog
Why copy? Just get the finger. With or without the human hanging on it. -

@capitainesam @EUCommission @HennaVirkkunen Stop biometric identification. It Will turn in a disaster for money (young) people. Caught for life.
