      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 let others scan your face” might be better.

      Plenty of fun legitimate reasons to scan your own face. (I’m on my own D&D mini made fully in house)

            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

              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.

        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? 🙃

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