Looking at https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6300638 and https://www.androidcentral.com/how-does-android-save-your-fingerprints, I'm curious what y'all think about modern #Android devices' "Trusted Execution Environment" storing #fingerprints (for authentication, unlocking, etc.) in, allegedly, a TPM-backed secure enclave that the OS doesn't have access to (really?)… For Pixel phones, Google claims biometrics never leave the TEE enclave, never touch servers, etc.
I wouldn't use it to travel… but local? I saw some geek friends using it.

Babylonian Biometrics and Widespread Methodological Shortcomings | Communications of the ACM
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3744705I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.

I want more details as to what is going on in that case where Google payed 1.375 billion in damages after allegedly collecting #biometrics and tracking users without user consent.
"According to the lawsuit, since at least 2015, Google has unlawfully (without consent) collected Texans' face and voice scans to empower its targeted advertising business.
Additionally, Google was accused of persistently tracking Texans who used its products and services, constantly logging their location and searches made while in Chrome's incognito mode."
