Yeah, they are like cockroaches. An alternative to marketplace and online stores is sorely needed, even for good old exchange of things.

Asklemmy @lemmy.ml How do you feel about financing a genocide?



In my country, biometrics are now prevalent. I had a very hard time giving my face to my bank, but the government is on board with this because, they say, we have to combat money laundry. They are trying to tie EVERYTHING to our identities: biometrics, mobile phone number, official documents, bank accounts, they are all tightly tied already.
So, people feel like their biometrics are already out there, since they don't grasp the concept of attack surface. Until now, we need to give our biometrics to vote, to pay taxes, to get a passport, to get a drivers license (in some places), and to get a serious bank account. The only way we can deny biometrics is by not needing any of those services (very poor, and very rich people that don't like to travel the world). Under these circumstances, most people just give away their biometrics to anyone that asks, it's a given for them.
