How comfortable are you with buildings using biometric authentication as a security process?

1. All my data is already on government database anyways so don’t really bother me

2. Meh. Our time clock at work is biometric. Don’t care.

3. I would counter this by asking why the discomfort?

   Biometrics are a great deterrent against physical intrusion.

   The only data stored on the server is the pattern matching your fingerprints, as well as the relevant metadata (_name, address, phone, profile pic, etc._) that identifies you **and only you** as an occupant. Keys / keycards can be forged.

4. I miss the days of trusting people

5. I’d be worried someone is going to cut off my thumbs to gain access to the building

6. Not

7. The idea horrifies me and I would never work anywhere that used this.

8. I wouldn’t work somewhere with that. It’s completely unnecessary. Keys work fine.

9. Not ok with giving my info

10. If I was a spy or a paranoid conspiracy theorist I’d be worried but I’m just a normal guy so it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

11. Feels like Gattaca has become reality

12. Fuck them

13. Don’t really care, apple already has everyone’s faces

14. That’s a hard pass from me, fam.

15. I hate the idea of someone having my data and spying on me!

    Hey alexa, whats the weather?

16. More security means more delays in life. If it takes me 20 minutes to get in my own house, fuck it.

17. Soft pass from me. As long as it runs smoothly I’m fine with it, but it won’t; and I’m against anything that makes it easier for businesses to keep homeless people out of their property, on principle.

18. I have coworkers that have barely figured out a normal time clock and one who buys into the Qannon BS, I kind of want to watch that absoloute shitshow play out.
