Governments Should Face Lawsuits For Violating Biometrics Privacy

I fully support the author’s observation of ‘security-lowering’ biometrics authentication.

Here is a 2-minute video we produced 7 years ago — ‘Biometrics in Cyber Space -”below-one” factor authentication’ https://youtu.be/wuhB5vxKYlg

As closely examined in there, biometrics authentication must not be deployed where security matters.

It would be unethical or could even be criminal to spread a nefarious false sense of security, by falsely claiming that biometrics authentication enhances security of digital identity, to the delight of criminals.

Counterarguments will be very much welcome!
