what if government mandates steam to verify id and facial scan of every user?
you know as everything the government does, for your "safety" or to "protect the children" or to target "disinformation"
identity checks are being implemented in many sites in several countries

basically govt is telling you to show your papers they will use ai to analyze metadata and everything you say

is surveillance good or bad? is privacy a human right?

You have no privacy.
Not a matter of if, but when.
in the UK they already do this, they know who you are (UK Citizens) everything you do and say online. - Even the Americans with their surveillance too on UK shores.

Social Media like Facebook hand over your looks to the government / enforcement agencies around the world.
You make that selfie of you smiling with a pint in your hand at the pub watching the football?
There you go, hundred plus Agencies around the world know your name and likeness from that picture.

Is this a good thing or bad thing?
I don't know values we grew up with saying this is bad and that is good, seem to no longer apply.

yep
If you haven’t been building an emulation and offline media library on external drives, then you’re gonna be pretty bored once you choose not to use the internet anymore.

These internet changes are coming. It’s inevitable. Prepare for them, accept them, ignore them; those are you choices.

If it applies to everyone on the planet where a vpn would be useless, i would be using either the gmod face poser or that unreal engine 5 metahuman face rigging thing
time to sail the seas :NikkiYay:

i personally do not, so i am safe from face scanning technologies.
Privacy is definitely a right and this would be a breach of it.


.....but on the other hand, there is a good chance most people have used their credit/debit cards for purchases so if they really wanted to track you down it'd already be pretty easy to do so

Lots of people will be paying retired people to use their ID and faces to create new steam accounts
