Which is the terrible part? Scanning your ID, or the secretive blacklist?
2 comments

I mainly have a problem with the collection and storage of my personal information in a way that could impact me in the future and that I have no insight or control over.

Scanning an ID to get back a confirmation of its validity and not retaining any data in the process isn’t something I have an issue with.

What are some potential solutions? Regulating and standardizing scanner apps?
Since we’re talking about what the FTC could do here, prohibiting these businesses from retaining or at least sharing data on their patrons could be a start.
Whichever one you're more willing to argue for, they're both justifiable yet dystopian horseshit.
