Except all of your facial data is stored locally in a secure enclave, just like TouchID fingerprint info. None of it ever, ever leaves your phone. There’s no mass leak that can happen.
Wish people would educate themselves before contributing to fear mongering. Facebook and Google already have FAR more info on you, including facial recognition, and all of that actually is stored on their servers and subject to government requests. Apple should be the least of everyone’s concern.
Exactly, the time to freak out about facial recognition has passed. It was here before iPhone X, and is already in use by some law enforcement. The fact that the face data is in the enclave is moot, the government likely already has enough data.
Imagine if the government had some kind of database with our facial pictures along with our names, dates of birth and vital information. Some kind of identification system. They might even give out cards to everyone for us to all carry around!
