I can't think of any reason it would worry me. All I've heard about facial recognition is that it's possibly racist, whether that's true idk.

 

[definitely]

biometric data in the hands of corporations isn't something I want to think about. dystopian as fuck.

Waiting for @fly to come in here and tell is "this is the way it is, and you're a fucking luddite if you don't want it".

[Frau Blugher]

not unconstitutional oops

Don't like it at all. Whether in the hands of corporations, governments, or regular citizens it will be abused.
Brush up on your theatre trickery and go out in public as a Klingon.

Like other tech it'll become cheap and pervasive to the point of being unavoidable save for spending your life as a shut-in. Also be marketed as the hip new way of the future and people will demand it instead of question it.

Oh, I see. Never mind.

I don't want anything other than to order shit off the intertubes and not leave the house.

Going shopping is for suckers.

"secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects".

All kind of electronic stuff counts as "papers" now. Is your face part of your person?

Care to look up what "effects" means in a 1780's era law dictionary and apply it to current times?
