why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent

Because it wasn’t yours to begin with

Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person

Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent

Same with drivers license databases

You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”

Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.

On that we completely disagree, I would argue they are some of the only things that are intrinsically yours.

So police can’t keep images of criminals faces (recreated and distributed to every cops computer in the nation through computer automation and often ai) without their consent?

And a private company can’t set that up and sell it to cops for profit?

Because I have some terribly bad news for you…
