    I’m sure this will go well and is certainly much easier than having badges and security. It’s definitely not a massive ploy to harvest more data from the public and sell to the highest bidder

        Biometric data of individuals faces. Biggest buyer for that market would be law enforcement/government I’d expect.

          I imagine the vast majority of people have driver’s licenses, the government already has a picture of your face.

              Locations and timelines, gait recordings, clothing… Advertisers will love to have that as well

            Doesn’t need to be your government who’s buying. The picture on your license also doesn’t come with meta data about your whereabouts when you decide to go to something as simple as a sporting event.

              Yeah, that information would just be conveyed by the tickets you paid for with your name on them.

                  So you said the government would buy it, so I pointed out that the government already has a facial picture of you. Your counterpoint is that it doesn’t have to be the government, in which case, why did you mention it. And then you said it’s because it would have meta data on your location, which is weird considering you would have bought tickets with your name on them through payment methods tied to your name. This isn’t some local high school game we’re talking about here.

    They should really use a photo of an NFL team for their article about something the NFL is looking to do. You know, rather than West Virginia University.

      To database and sell your biometric data at the expense of privacy under the guise of convenience. This is contemporary business 101. First either steal data or lie through a grinning face to acquire data, then sell the data.
