How about just “don’t scan your face”
Sure, but the long list demonstrates how lots of different places are slowly submitting to the idea of just a little less privacy for you so they can keep operating. Only a few are standing up and saying they won’t play that game and will take their business elsewhere.
“Don’t let others scan your face” might be better.
Plenty of fun legitimate reasons to scan your own face. (I’m on my own D&D mini made fully in house)
Proton is also a garbage company that eats US shit, for Israel. Booo.
do you have a source for that? also what do you recommend as an alternative?
Seems standard for banks nowadays
My bank doesn’t do that and when they do then they won’t be my bank any more.
Don’t scan your face to access your steam library?
Don’t scan your face to buy ebooks?
This is where the world is going. Soon, piracy will be the only option.*insert “always have been” meme here*
Steams fine and all but its made a lot of people not know how to even play a game that isnt on steam. They dont know how else you get a game. Crazy. Once it enshittifies its gonna be a bad day for those people.

Not Canada.
Great plan totally I will show up to Norway or Netherland, they will give my unemployed brokeass a residency, house, and job and a wife to fuck. I forgot I don’t even have $10k+ in bank for 4 months o qualify for their visa to get a ticket to get there.
“Ugh, I can’t get into my ideal situation so I can’t research to find an improved one.”
This sounds facetious but I wish you luck in figuring out how to become happy. I would genuinely love to hear how you did it, because it would delight me to learn how someone else finagled their way through modern bureaucracy
What does that have to do with online ID laws?
Correlation
Most of these are in the EU, which keeps trying to pass Chat Control year after year. Most of the sites mentioned by the OP are implementing global ID policies.
Where is your correlation?
Every one of these companies is based in the US.
So?
Stay and fight back.
Stay and enrich business owners only to die here, in medical debt.

Run and give up? I think not.
Run Forest run!
Didn’t add PayPal and their fake security verification?
Let’s also not scan our face for Google Android nor for iPhone/Mac.
I can proudly say I do not use any one of those services
Can’t spell Proton without PR
Don’t take a picture of your ID.
Scan your butt!

Yeah, Goodluck. Had to scan my face to pay my car insurance bill. It’s rolling out now and there’s not really going to be a whole lot of choice for folks, but fuck there really should be.
Fuck that, I would just call them at that point
Called. Options were: 1. Change my insurance for car, home, etc that I’ve had for 15 years (I shopped around. Nothing comparably priced). 2. Eat crow, seethe, deal with it. I’m not happy, but what choice really was there? If someone stood in front of you and said they’re going to ai scan your face or bill you $1400 a year, what’re you going with? 🙃
Disappearing that person?
Ha
That sucks.
or bill you $1400 a year
That’s less than I pay for insurance, but I also have 5 vehicles and I don’t have to scan my face.
What insurance company do you go through?
I don’t believe anything that user is claiming hahaha
Not sure why. I’m not required to heed your beck and call. I have a life away from lemmy.
I don’t care, I wasn’t even talking to you. Go tell your lies on Reddit
Unhinged.
Progressive, Iowa.
Interesting. I have Progressive. Haven’t had to scan my face for anything though.
Yeah that’s not a thing, you can pay them without scanning your face hahahaha
Which insurance company? And was this their App? Website?
App, progressive.
What company, and in what state, if you don’t mind sharing?
Progressive, Iowa.
