Google stores this enrolment video and later compares new videos you submit during sign‑in or account recovery to confirm your identity.

Google stores this video forever and later they are able to create all kinds of deepfakes from it - or worse.

Perfect for the authoritarian regime. Have a view they dont like, youll be deepfaked doing a crime and black vans will be at your door. We all know this is happening even now. Imagine 10 years down the road. Bad news.
