Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.

If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.

Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.

It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.

A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.

The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.

If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

Years ago, when websites and corporations said, "We track you to give you personalized ads..." I was like "You lost me at the tracking part."

Never considered using biometrics, facial scanning, retina scanning or anything of the like on any device.

These things are not supposed to know me. They're supposed to do a thing when I'm using them and stop doing things until I need to use them again.

All data will get exploited in the Information Age.
