A friend of mine has to get their photo ID renewed. We are pretty sure this opens them to the risk of being automatically facially identified by the government and anyone who has access to the government database.
Is it worth them trying to grow out a long beard and hairstyle to partially cover their features for the photo ID or would it be better for them to try to be clean shaven and then walk around society with the beard and hair?
That is a good point, and a risk my friend is currently willing to take, not that everyone needs to.
