Im talking about apps (optimally your main camera app too) needing to have built in biometric fuzzing. Phones (by default) just shouldnt be capable of creating pictures that can be used for biometrics. Camera apps for this already exist but nobody uses them.
Ofcourse the existing pictures are already on the internet but thats not a reason to not change course. The sooner we stop supplying them data, the worse their detection system will be.
Simply not uploading pictures of yourself at all is the best but maybe thats too hard for some people.
Sure, but that still doesn’t change that you don’t have control over other people’s pictures.
