Because my biometric data is none of 99% of peoples business and should not be saved by anyone at all, neither state nor private company. And it is also none of people's business if I want to visit adult sites or services. There's literally non invasive methods to verify someone's identity & age too, but you think that somehow it is completely fine to expose yourself in front of a camera to someone. Might as well open up a profile on Chaturbate and expose some more. The only fascinating thing here is how little people give a shit about privacy nowadays. Honestly, just move to China with that kind of thinking. There you can see what those biometric databases are used for.

Eh... I think now you're having an argument with somebody in your head.

I don't care how you wank, friend. Wank away.

I showed my face over a webcam next to my official ID to access tax data or medical records. I sure expect identity to be verified for those things, on site or remotely. If your government is not checking your identity to access your private data, how the hell is that working? If you don't think the health care system should keep your medical records or the tax system should keep your tax records, how do you think those services can work?

Is this one of those things where you got angry about a thing once and now there is no room for nuance or compromise on it online? Because I get that people think privacy is important, but maybe it's time to just say out loud once that "privacy" doesn't mean "nothing I ever do leaves a trace anywhere, ever", which is an absurd statement.

Could you explain what non invasive methods exist? Really would like to hear them.
