Ok you were doing good until younthre tik tok in. Wtf. Stay on target. And you picture is on your driver's license, mandatory, it's on your passport, mandatory, where do you think they get the facial recognition i.ages from. The government already has your face. Since 9/11, the government has thrown so many previously held privacy rules out the window it's ridiculous, and you're trying to make the correct argument. You need to step back and think deeper before you start fighting again. And yes people post more on Facebook than they give to the government, and that was voluntary so it's all fair game. Make your argument more concise and you have the correct fight.
You can fuck aallll the way off with that condescending bullshit.
Ignore these dorm room philosophers. You are 100% correct. State and Federal agencies already have access to every photo ID.
It doesn't matter that they can identify you slightly easier. Do you vote based on limiting police access to law enforcement databases? If you don't vote based on this, your minor refusal to be photographed doesn't mean anything.
It's possible and often easy to make a counterpoint, especially a good one, without being an arsehole.
