    #FaceID Good: Design looks surprisingly robust, already has a panic disable. Bad: Normalizes facial scanning, a tech certain to be abused.

        I don’t like the idea of face scanning becoming normalized, but I also feel we’re going to get there one way or another.

        Cops will hold the phone to your face when they arrest you for protesting, threaten with violence. Logical conclusion of this tech.

        Disable biometric auth if you're protesting. That recommendation has been around for years.

        It was a beta android feature long before snap chat. But they deemed it not secure enough. Maybe apple has added a new layer of security.
