This is nothing new, I´m sure.
I just got a new iPhone because my old phone died all the time. When I got my new iPhone I got the question to register my Face ID, I didn´t do it because I´m old fashioned, kinda lazy and a little paranoid at nature, but at Uni today I saw how easily people opened their phone with their facial ID instead of using the code to open their phones (it’s the new Fingerprint ID on iPhone), so I caved in. And it´s so easy! It’s a bless you, thank the heavens, how much less frustrated I get when the snow or rain is falling on my screen and I can´t open the damn phone to show my bus ticket, answer a text message and so on.
BUT, all the steps I had to go through to get it, the phone had to get my facial structure left and right, up and down and all that, and in TWO steps. It was an effing biometric scanner.
And that got me thinking, WHO gets this info??!
It also got me thinking about the Fingerprint ID I had on my old Phone.
Is this a way to control us? Is this a way to get our fingerprints and our facial structures to easier identify us? Do they use it if we do something illegal? If they suspect us for something? If they need a way to control us?
Like in the earlier days, they only got your fingerprints if you did a crime. They only got your facial structure (I think) if you had a reason to be in a criminal database and they got a picture to compare it to and so on.
Today, it´s all there. In a database somewhere. Your iPhone fingerprint ID, you Face ID. Just laying there. Or is someone gathering it?
I don´t like this feeling, do we got any rights left?
To take everything to an extreme, is this another part of a conspiracy to control us as human beings?
Kinda just airing ("lufting" in Norwegian, sorry about my bad English), my thoughts over here, but a big part of me is actually really concerned.
I´m actually the girl who covers her webcam and phone cams with a sticker, just to be sure because it´s always given me the creeps how much power electronics/the "right" people have over you.
Thoughts please? And please be kind.
