I was also thinking.......

kind of like how the disputed traffs smelled as well?

@growfediverse @Em0nM4stodon

Laws have changed but this is still the environment we are dealing with.......

a certain amount of untreated waste is spilled into a waterway.
as a private citizen you cannot go down to the site with a 5 gallon bucket fill it then leave that area with it.
a private corporation can collect thousands, thousands of thousands of gallons and do what they want with it.
the logic being that they produce a large percentage of the waste therefore should be allowed to that, collect it, and spill a certain amount again so logically completing the cycle.
my point.
biometric data is considered ambient data in a network.
state and local bodies cannot even collect ambient (toxic overflow) of any kind without petition.
corporations can always do so?

@Em0nM4stodon

Biometrics are more taken than asked for is my theory.

retnal scanning, face scanning, all of it is as old as computer science. When has permission ever been given?
Discord has been in the news from the beginning about research on the methods.
people just don't care since they just want their apps.
shiny new smelling apps any app.... ..

then, people are taught that as long as it's a private sector endeavor it must be good for you.
