Oh I definitely know it was NOT designed as assistive tech. Most don’t give a shit about anything but shares, sales and market cap. And I’ll grant you that the side benefit for some people isn’t enough to justify it. Yep. But “banning” a specific combination of tech isn’t really viable is it?

That’s silly. Of course they know the difference.  They don’t care about your privacy or security as you do but of course they know the difference. Do you know any developers? They know the difference between those 2 as the differences between validate, verify, authenticate, and authorise.

Sure. And I’d personally turn it off. Do I think it shouldn’t exist ever? No. That’s impossible to stop. That’s why legislation is important. Create clear and strong laws about acquiring sound and vision w/consent and make the product makers conform to that. Eg: knives cut people as wel as veg

What I hear is even if faces are blurred that’s not enough for you. What I hear is if it’s recording just for you and you can’t share it it’s not enough for you. What I hear is that even if no organisation can receive the Info that’s not enough for you? That this tech is worse than atom bombs?

Are you talking about the Australian ETA app? I’m sure you always knew that using an uncommon OS will leave yourself vulnerable to all this. I believe it’s the passport and likeness biometrics requirements. Nothing stopping you using a friend’s phone for 10 minutes to lodge the application.
