themurphyFace scanning and age verification is the big new privacy invading feature of this decade. Meanwhile almost every single iPhone user has given away all of that for years, just to unlock their phone.
Tell me you don’t understand technology without saying you don’t understand technology. Biometrics don’t leave Apple devices. Proof? Go get an old touch iPhone and set up a fingerprint and then try to use that to log in to a MacBook with Touch ID.
That is absolutely not proof that apple doesn’t harvest your data. It’s just proof that they don’t sync that data between devices.
iOS is a closed-source black box on proprietary hardware, and there’s absolutely nothing preventing them from just taking that data and not telling anyone. It might not be nearly as invasive as the age verification BS, but it’s definitely not nothing.

There is something preventing them, they publish their Secure Enclave design and there are plenty of studies showing it doesn’t leave the device. (This is the same for Microsoft too, this isn’t me being nice to apple). I don’t feel the need to explain every minute detail to someone that clearly doesn’t know the first thing about technology though, so a simple comment with “proof” that someone who thinks those kinds of things will easily understand is enough.
