Ok mate, I disagree but accept I'm not gonna convince you
I mean, you are disagreeing with facts.
Cause not only is if factually real, it has factually happened,
FBI kinda screwed up the case against one of the Jan6ers by forcing them to unlock their phone by forcing their thumb onto their phone. . Granted, it was appealed and the court declared it a violation of 5th amendment (which is great in general, even if it unfortunately helps a Jan6er).
and there have been numerous other instances of police and authorities have done the same thing, it was not an uncommon practice before that court ruling.. and to be honest, with how power abusive police are, its probably still not that uncommon.
So you can disagree all you want. but its happening every day. Biometrics are security theater, not actual security.
edit This isnt conservative media, downvoting doesnt make facts become unfacts, lol.
