How about just "don't scan your face"
post
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.
Steams fine and all but its made a lot of people not know how to even play a game that isnt on steam. They dont know how else you get a game. Crazy. Once it enshittifies its gonna be a bad day for those people.
I'm already running instances of Calibre for ebooks and Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts, both paired with Shelfmark, which is kinda like Seerr for audio-/ebooks.
Didn't add PayPal and their fake security verification?

And go where, dingus?
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.

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?
Correlation
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?
If you're buying groceries from the self check out with a credit card I've got bad news for you.
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.
Fuck that, I would just call them at that point
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? 🙃
Disappearing that person?
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?
I don’t believe anything that user is claiming hahaha
Not sure why. I'm not required to heed your beck and call. I have a life away from lemmy.
Progressive, Iowa.
Which insurance company? And was this their App? Website?
What company, and in what state, if you don't mind sharing?
