A friend of mine has to get their photo ID renewed. We are pretty sure this opens them to the risk of being automatically facially identified by the government and anyone who has access to the government database.
Is it worth them trying to grow out a long beard and hairstyle to partially cover their features for the photo ID or would it be better for them to try to be clean shaven and then walk around society with the beard and hair?
They don’t think anyone is specifically trying to track them in particular; they’re just trying to avoid capitalist mass surveillance one step at a time :/
Another friend just got GrapheneOS which is amazing; for me personally, my phone is probably the easiest way my location is tracked since i don’t have a private OS yet.
