Read the Snowden leaks or Glenn Greenwald about the amount of collusion between tech companies like Facebook, Google and Apple and intelligence agencies like the NSA and CIA and it will rightfully frighten you.

These tech companies are perfect for intelligence spooks: they are typically led by young people who generate a youthful exuberance. Their innovations are hailed as ground breaking, giving their "progressive" employees some sense of meaning or self worth. Lastly, their collusion with the American surveillance establishment is kept hidden, as it would be bad for business.

These forms of technology are the final death blows to privacy. Because we don't value or respect privacy anymore, the 4th Amendment is dead. You can thank these tech companies for hastening that.

This is just a plot to create a face recognition database with everyone in it


Same as TouchID, the IPhone keeps biometric data in an encrypted enclave chip. No database

FFS, you already prob have a forward facing camera, if they wanted to build a secret database they could simply turn it on and build a profile from that.

Phones have been able to recognize faces for years already. Not individual faces, but a face. They use the front camera to tell if you're looking at it or not

Face recognition on phones isn't new. Apple just has idiots like you in a ruckus.
