Frankly, of all the personally identifying data I share with my bank, a low resolution phone video of the side of my head is the least worrying. It's like worrying the government knows my mum's maiden name!

In the eventuality that robust deepfake technology to provide fluid real-time animation of my head from limited data sources exists and someone actually wants to use it against me, they can probably find video content involving the side of my head from some freely available social network anyway.

I've been looking to rent housing and get a new job the last few months. The amount of info I've sent strangers always worries me.

At least with housing they don't ask me to input the information I've already sent them into their crappy website.

And, if deepfake technology becomes so easy to use, video of your face will no longer serve to identify you.
