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!
This makes me irrationally angry. I feel like if I saw that shit in real life I would have to put in effort not to smash it.
If you don't like it, don't use it. It's extremely presumptuous to assume your extent views on this matter is the only right view to the point you think it's ok to enforce that view on everyone else.
It's just part of the creeping evil of surveillance. Fuck giant corporations. They shouldn't be allowed to basically fingerprint their customers and put it in a database.
I don't get the issue with it ? Why wouldn't fingerprint be the best way to pay for stuff ?
For the same reason this isn't a good idea. Privacy aside, when your biometrics get leaked (and they will), you'll have no recourse, because biometrics are literally a part of your body and you can't change them.
