Self-checkouts everywhere already scan your face and collect biometrics and attach that information to your credit card.
Any evidence of this?
Next time you use self checkout, take a minute to notice the camera that is scanning your face. The information collected by that camera is then associated with whatever card you use to check out. That form of payment identifies you and your bank. All of the items that you purchase are also stored along with your id and card. The store then sells that information to third parties.
Surely it’s also a way to identify people using cash.

This is part of the agenda to control all social media and internet usage by making users login with health/social credit/passport authentication. This means they can ban, censor and track all posts and arrest anyone who breaks their Orwellian “hate” crime or “disinformation” laws.
This is why they have instructed New World Order pawn Elon Musk to announce purchasing Twittter — which hinges on solving the so described bot issue (most of the fake accounts are run and controlled by New World Order agents on sites they also control), which is just an excuse to introduce authenticated logins only via submitting photo ID.
Very true, I can totally see the big social media companies going this route. Looks like they are testing this crap out on Instagram apparently,like a live test run before branching out to everywhere else for sure.
The US Internal Revenue Service began requiring facial scanning as of June 2022 ~ now, you cannot log in to the IRS website to view your tax status, make a payment, or ask a question without submitting.
As for social media, I’ve removed myself completely ~ but for those who still partake, I strongly recommend keeping it OFF your mobile devices so your every move isn’t tracked, and get those little plastic camera blockers for your phones and laptops, so you’re not being watched without your knowledge.
It’s only a spit in the wind, though. If you have a TV that’s less than 4 years old, it’s listening to you, too. And surveillance cameras are in grocery stores, on street corners, and at the Starbucks drive-through. Gods forbid you order a latte without being profiled…🙄
Few weeks ago I had this thought that the filters that everybody use on Instagram is an actual tool to scan people’s faces for facial recognition purpose. Now this article confirms it, I’m not crazy.
I have been saying this for over 10 years now. I remember when Snapchat first came out (I was in high school at the time), everyone I knew was using it… And all I could think was that this was a clever way for AI to quickly and easily improve facial recognition… for future authoritarian purposes.
I regret not thinking about this earlier. Thankfully I don’t think I ever used these filters or even posted a picture of me online 🙂
China has machine vision AI that can see your walking gait “fingerprint” and identify you just by the way you walk. Looking at an actual face is easy in comparison.
Yes, I remember hearing about that… Sooo creepy, won’t be long now before the US is doing the same. China always sets the blueprint for things to come here.
I remember that as well. I’m pretty sure that tech will hit every where else at some point.
