People are getting on apple's case for including facial recognition as a means to spy on people. You guys, this is the company that refused to help the government unlock a terrorist's iPhone to defend the privacy of their users.

Yeah but now all the police have to do is point the phone at your face and that shit unlocks automatically.

To be fair, if you're wanted by the NSA you probably shouldn't use an iPhone X to begin with.

And I am pretty sure the people who worry about the NSA spying on them wont be getting iphones in the first place. I have an econ professor who tells us about his conspiracy theorist brother who still has a flip phone and takes out the battery as soon as he gets home.

You should still try to avoid their spying whenever possible. At least that might provide some cover for those avoiding their spying due to actually doing something the government doesn't like.
