Facial recognition underway. Move to Truth Social or X

Meta is rolling out a badge on Facebook that requires users to record a video of their own face.
The feature, massively accelerating the normalization of face scanning and biometric data collection, is called Facebook Verified, and asks a user to record a short video selfie, which the company checks against the photos already on their profile to confirm a match.
The process is free and takes a few minutes.
The company, which has been aggressively lobbying for “age verification” digital ID laws, presents the badge as a way to confirm a real person is behind an account. “As AI makes it easier to generate content, profiles, and messages,” it said, it wants users “to know there is a real person on the other side of a profile.”
The badge is open to Facebook users who are 18 or older and in good standing with Meta’s Community Standards on fraud, scams, and deceptive practices, and who show “no evidence of inauthentic behavior.” It is not available for Pages or ProMode accounts, which limits it to personal profiles.
Once a user completes the one-time check, the badge appears on Marketplace, Dating, Groups, and Profile. Meta said it plans to extend it to Feed posts over time.
Facebook Verified is separate from Meta Verified, the company’s paid subscription, which bundles a badge with impersonation protection and account support. Facebook Verified charges no fee.
Meta has not said how long it keeps the selfie video, where it stores it, or when it deletes it.
The launch materials describe the match and say nothing about the video afterward.
The scan arrives the same month Google added a selfie-video sign-in that records a user’s face to recover a locked account. Age-check laws in several US states and in Britain already require a face or an ID scan to open some accounts.
Meta is now asking hundreds of millions of Facebook users for a face scan too.
Facebook Verified is rolling out in phases, starting in select markets, and Meta plans to expand it worldwide.
Google’s newest account-recovery option asks for something no password ever required: a moving image of the account holder’s face, kept on the company’s servers.
Selfie video sign-in, launched July 23, records a short clip of the user turning their head on cue. When someone is locked out, Google matches a fresh clip against the stored one to decide whether to let them in.
The head movements are the security pitch.
They let Google’s systems tell a live face from a photograph or a prerecorded loop, the same trick it uses to turn away deepfakes.
Those checks all serve the accuracy of the match.
They say nothing about how much of the face Google stores, or for how long.
The company’s assurance covers only the storage. In its words, the video is “encrypted at rest, meaning it’s securely stored even when it’s not being used.”
Encryption at rest is a claim about how the file is stored. It says nothing about who can open it.
Its systems have to read the enrolled video to check any new face against it, so Google can decrypt the footage on demand. Encryption that only the account holder could open would rule that out, and Google has not claimed it.
Passkeys, hardware keys, and authenticator apps already restore a locked account with no biometric anywhere in the process.
Google added the face scan on top of them.
By default, the company says the clip stays with verification and recovery. A separate setting asks the user to release the same data toward developing Google’s products.
The feature is opt-in and reversible. Eligible accounts around the world can switch it on, and account holders can delete the stored clip at any time.
The company has not said how long it keeps that clip while the feature runs, or where the footage is handled.

And the morons will line up willingly.
All good comments, but perhaps what we need is a concerted effort to challenge the veracity of legislation, which is all private law as per the UNIDROIT that Gough “The Traitor” Whitlam put us on.
Cairns News did a great article by Peter Gargan, who is a man who got his Law degree but did not take the Oath, because he knew that the legal system was fraudulent and dodgy.
In this article Gargan spells it out in full:

The scenario, as I se it, with the Parliaments of this country, is that the politicians go into the Parliament and pass just about anything want, without so much as a howdy-do to the constituents, who are never consulted by their local Parliamentary rep.
This is not, in any way, shape or form, what we call democracy, but merely a figment of the term.
So,, the basis of my challenge is that legislation can only achieve any sort of legitimacy of it is in the express public interest, which it is usually not.
We have all heard the “moving the goal posts” term, and this is what they do when someone finds a loophole in some legislation, so the pollies go in and stitch that loophole up good and tight so that there is no more “out” to be had.
Like Gargan says in his article, some things just need to come to an end, and these bogus legislations are one of them too.
Anyone remember a thing called robodebt invented by the government, soon it will be no pension and no bank account for you if you don’t have your boosters. Replacement of baby-boomers is essential to the budget, it was the plan all along, suck out their money via the hospital system and euthanise them when their money finally runs out.
Wasn’t it private/public partnerships the thing that gave rise to the fascist in Nazi Germans?
Wasn’t it Mussolini who dubbed it a corporate/government partnership and the better definition would be to call it
Corporatism?
Isn’t that the very thing that is happening here in Oz right now?
When you have corporations and foreign nationals actually lobbying and WRITING THE LEGISLATION for our government to pass then you can know that our own government are traitors.
This is the end result of mass importing diaspora from other countries and not expecting them to leave their loyalties behind and become fully Australian. They form voting blocks that our corrupt pollies must pander to if they want to stay in power.
It’s a vicious circle.
One created by the politicians.
With recent government innovations like the$67 million given to mainstream publications like Crikey and The Saturday Paper, and even the local free rags we receive from the Star News Group (two in Geelong) we might need to go back and review the story I busted to Cairns News about the Future Fund’s (Peter Costello runs it investment in Facebook:

With AI front and centre even more now, one also ,ight wonder what deals were cut between Albo and Bill Gates when Gates had his private audience with Albo recently? Nort beneficial for us, I bet.
Looks like it might just be better to ditch Facebook completely, which might be be easier that trying to hold the Feds to account for everything, like that death tax, and so on.
Behind Winston’s back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.
