Isn’t this going to immediately become daily news?

Half the time I call a company they say “we are recording your voice for security / authentication purposes”.

The companies that do that have all the information on me that they require for me to set up an account, so their data breaches will be just like this one, but 1000x larger.

Can we just fast forward through the part where this works for ID theft, past the firefox age verification plugin that uses these datasets, and even through the part where people in the plugin dataset are digital outcasts (this voice has been used too many times. Want to try another?)

At the end of this dark predictable tunnel, maybe there will be a ban on biometrics for important stuff, a repeal of the age verification laws, and actual privacy legislation with teeth.
