I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

It won't be long now until we have the eye scanner things from Minority Report and the only way to protect your privacy is to become blind

How do you open your phone? Finger print?

I don't get the issue with it ? Why wouldn't fingerprint be the best way to pay for stuff ?

For the same reason this isn't a good idea. Privacy aside, when your biometrics get leaked (and they will), you'll have no recourse, because biometrics are literally a part of your body and you can't change them.

This makes me irrationally angry. I feel like if I saw that shit in real life I would have to put in effort not to smash it.
