Eh, I don't like it, but its kinda the norm if you wanna ever leave your country. My dad who's a PRC Citizen doesn't even have to go to the embassy/consulate anymore for passport renewal, its now done via an app, which of course they'd have to scan your face. I expect other countries to also adopt the same practice, just as they did with mass surveillance. And then it will eventually move from the government services to the private sector.
I mean, I hate to think about it, but we might have mandatory brain chips in the future... ๐
