How about just "don't scan your face"

    Sure, but the long list demonstrates how lots of different places are slowly submitting to the idea of just a little less privacy for you so they can keep operating. Only a few are standing up and saying they won't play that game and will take their business elsewhere.

    Don't scan your face to access your steam library?
    Don't scan your face to buy ebooks?
    This is where the world is going. Soon, piracy will be the only option.

    Facebook is not on the list, so I assume that's okay, then?

    Great plan totally I will show up to Norway or Netherland, they will give my unemployed brokeass a residency, house, and job and a wife to fuck. I forgot I don't even have $10k+ in bank for 4 months o qualify for their visa to get a ticket to get there.

    "Ugh, I can't get into my ideal situation so I can't research to find an improved one."

    This sounds facetious but I wish you luck in figuring out how to become happy. I would genuinely love to hear how you did it, because it would delight me to learn how someone else finagled their way through modern bureaucracy

    What does that have to do with online ID laws?

    Most of these are in the EU, which keeps trying to pass Chat Control year after year. Most of the sites mentioned by the OP are implementing global ID policies.

    Where is your correlation?

    Yeah, Goodluck. Had to scan my face to pay my car insurance bill. It's rolling out now and there's not really going to be a whole lot of choice for folks, but fuck there really should be.

    Called. Options were: 1. Change my insurance for car, home, etc that I've had for 15 years (I shopped around. Nothing comparably priced). 2. Eat crow, seethe, deal with it. I'm not happy, but what choice really was there? If someone stood in front of you and said they're going to ai scan your face or bill you $1400 a year, what're you going with? 🙃

    or bill you $1400 a year

    That's less than I pay for insurance, but I also have 5 vehicles and I don't have to scan my face.

    What insurance company do you go through?
