Can you please explain why it is depressing? This feature is widely celebrated in the accessibility user groups in India, since the traditional sign-in methods have been proven to be a major friction point for users with special needs.

The same reason age identity verification is getting a lot of push back..? This is dystopian on another level.

We are gong to reach a state of total digital surveillance without regulation at this point.

Then regulate. The feature itself is useful, not depressing.

The current issue is in the category "action from bad regulators is worse than no action".

(The further issue is that bad regulators are posing the basis for future worse regulators.)

At this point all govs would just regulate it to mandatory.
