    This isn’t something new, I had to do this several years ago when I started streaming on YouTube to prove that I was an actual person and not a bot

    Google stores this enrolment video and later compares new videos you submit during sign‑in or account recovery to confirm your identity.

    Google stores this video forever and later they are able to create all kinds of deepfakes from it - or worse.

      Perfect for the authoritarian regime. Have a view they dont like, youll be deepfaked doing a crime and black vans will be at your door. We all know this is happening even now. Imagine 10 years down the road. Bad news.

        The current statement is that adb is excepted from these requirements. Speculation is speculation.

        And Lineage and Graphene are not implementing this either.
