The European Court of Justice ruled having fingerprints on ID cards was legal under EU privacy laws. The benefits of having such a system were key to preventing identity theft, it said.
Eh… I think now you’re having an argument with somebody in your head.
I don’t care how you wank, friend. Wank away.
I showed my face over a webcam next to my official ID to access tax data or medical records. I sure expect identity to be verified for those things, on site or remotely. If your government is not checking your identity to access your private data, how the hell is that working? If you don’t think the health care system should keep your medical records or the tax system should keep your tax records, how do you think those services can work?
Is this one of those things where you got angry about a thing once and now there is no room for nuance or compromise on it online? Because I get that people think privacy is important, but maybe it’s time to just say out loud once that “privacy” doesn’t mean “nothing I ever do leaves a trace anywhere, ever”, which is an absurd statement.
