We’re so f-ked.
Absolutely fucking not
Isn’t Revolut that had a data breach like 10 days ago, leaking costumer data like IBANs etc??
Oh don’t worry, they leaked your facial data then too
I have so many questions. How does it differentiate customers? Like say I’m standing in line just off to the side behind someone buying a few big ticket items, when the face scan happens how will it know which face to charge? Same question for a couple people checking out together. Will I have to take my hat and sunglasses off to check out or does it use other technologies to build face maps like lidar? What if I got a broken nose or fractured orbital, can I just not buy things? What about beards, if a guy scans his face initially with a beard and shaves it, how will the system respond? Is there an upper limit on purchases made this way like there is with tap to pay? What will it do about age verified products like tobacco or alcohol?
I would bet money they didn’t test for any of that and if they did it would be within very narrow parameters.
Bro, don’t kill the vibes with all of this very real world shit that will actually happen. Just smile for the camera and it will all be over soon.

Airports already handle this on a daily basis:
Cameras scan only small field.

Probably the same as face unlock in iPhones. You can check how this works and apply answers here.

This is just another form of payment so it will do the same as credit card or cash.
The Intuit Dome in LA already does this. You grab food/drinks and it automatically charges you based on your face. And you guessed it, there have been many complaints about people getting charged for something they didn’t get. I’m never stepping foot inside that venue.
How will they handle twins or people who looks very close to each other?
How easy is it to use it to scam people? If I smile in public, can I get photographed and that used to pay things? Is a smiling photo the next “they stole my card”?
That’s it, I’m never smiling again!
My apartment building has a facial recognition system to unlock the door to the building. My cousin got recognized as his brother that was in the system and the door just opened for them.
What a wonderful idea to use the same tech to deal with money.
Cue Zooey Deschanel/Kate Perry/Emily Blunt meme
Does it work with black people? Theres a bit of a history with facial recognition training and varying features.
Didn’t apple get sued because a Chinese woman’s sister could unlock her phone?
… Just googled it and there’s multiple cases with Chinese users, including a coworker and a woman’s son.
I bet the false positives are through the roof.
Not in a thousand fucking years
A couple of weeks ago I posted in c/privacy about this shit in my home country. This shit should be illegal.
Here in the UK, regular supermarkets are absolutely littered with cameras. Every fart is on record. It’s insane.
Great, now my twin can go shopping for me.
I’m good with using cash.
No one ever had those problems.
how does this lower the cost? yeah it doesn’t fuk off. more stealing from consumers without them knowing.

Are we gonna have to be Juggalos now?
