Google and Meta both shipped facial recognition this week, days apart, for two different stated reasons — account recovery, catching AI catfish. Same instinct underneath: give us your face.

Ars Technica: Forgot your Google password? Now you can log in with a selfie.. “Getting locked out of an account is no fun. Google has a few ways to help you regain access if you happen to forget your password or lose an authenticator, including recovery contacts and backup codes. Now, Google has a completely new option: your face.”

"The US’s excessive demands for travellers’ profiling and surveillance in order to stay in its Visa Waiver Programme are nothing less than blackmail. The EU accepting the terms of this power struggle is extremely worrying for the rights of Europeans and any third country nationals registered in European databases.
The scheme implies systematic transfers of biometric data and other highly sensitive and subjective “indications of risk” based on European national databases to the US government, which has shown a blatant disregard for basic human rights in its harsh and inhumane treatment of migrants and visitors. In that regard, the draft text does nothing to protect from discrimination based on political opinions, which is worrying because the US is already cracking down political dissent, including its unlawful practice of screening travellers’ social media profiles. The sharing of individual risk assessments to supposedly protect “public security and public order” under the EBSP could further target opposition to the Trump administration, support to transgender people’s rights or protests against the genocide in Gaza expressed (publicly) on social media, with potentially significant impacts, including detention at the borders.
Furthermore it is very difficult to know the terms of the negotiations as the talks are shrouded in secrecy. However, in May 2026, EDRi member Statewatch leaked a “revised version” of the draft Framework Agreement, revealing the direction the future deal has taken."

Seems like a great way to capture audio of people's voices for later "AI" reproduction or cloning 🙂🤷♂️
Probably best not to willingly hand over biometrics, especially if your bank uses any sort of Voice ID technology 🤔

The SAVE Act does not mandate biometric ID—but it places federal identity verification inside the electoral process as governments worldwide build interoperable digital identity, biometric, payment and data systems.
This investigation separates provable infrastructure from speculation and reveals how the pieces could eventually converge.

Facial recognition gates are now live at Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo. Worth noting what this actually means: biometric data collected at scale in a transit hub, with no clear public baseline on retention policies, access controls, or error rate thresholds. Convenience and surveillance infrastructure often share the same gate. #biometrics #privacy #infosec
