I see more and more apps and services requiring a selfie to proceed.

What are our privacy minded people doing when they want to use a service but not provide the selfie?

    It’s hard to trust organizations to store digital data (including selfie photos) without leaking. Even without leaks, the data is still has the possibility to be accessed by members of the organization, their vendors and auditors. Will everyone use the data only for the intended purpose? I can’t be certain so I’d like to push back on these kind of requirements when I’m able.

    Incidents of these selfie leaks have already been reported.

      Respectable ones, do not store them, they just check them live. If they do, then they open the door for problems.
