Sorry for wanting privacy then.
Wanting privacy is OK, and your link to the video on the face ID of the bank also helped explain what you where talking about.
It's the way you wrote it that came across if you where some conspiracy nutcase and that causes downvotes.
Many people share concerns about the use and storage of PII by for profit companies and governments without any oversight on what actually happens with the data. It is good that waryness on who you provide what data to is Becoming more mainstream. I remember years ago people would look at me funny if I replied "no thank you" when asked my zip code in a store. Now a lot more people do it.
