I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!
I've seen that in Lexx!
Noooope
contactless cards are already a thing. why why why
Whelp, it was only a matter time.
And bad legislation.
Looks like fujitsu's palm vein biometric scanner
Only works if the hand is attached with blood flowing, great for South American atms
I can think of several ways to outsmart them. Not easy ways, mind you, but still.
It won't be long now until we have the eye scanner things from Minority Report and the only way to protect your privacy is to become blind
Its hard to believe anyone would use the thing. It'll be more problematic if/when its used for regulatory purposes. Sort of at the desensitization still. Today.
I had to take a State exam for licensure a few years back. I was told that I had to take a palm/vein scan to prove my identity. I informed her Ive never had one so it could not prove my identity-- but hey, Im the crazy one. Its on a server somewhere now tho... Modernity is pretty stupid, tbh.
