    the facial recognition technology used by Login.gov will:

    Always protect user data by ensuring it will never be used for any purpose unrelated to verifying your identity by Login.gov or any vendors we contract with.

    I trust both the US government and every single one of those unnamed third party vendors, and I am sure they will all be held responsible for any data breach

      Lmao the fucking Balls to phrase it that way.

      “We’ll only sell your data to vendors! It’s ok guys!”

        I use Login.gov; “vendors” here probably refer to the NSF, NIH, etc. who, though government agencies themselves, are technically contacted with Login.gov and meet definitions of vendor.

        So, my guess is they aren’t selling the data to vendors, just that vendors get the login “username” and authentication.

      The US keeps my data and myself secure. That’s why I live in a drone area, so they can look after me. :)

      And just waiting for it to misidentify minorities like facial recognition regularly does.
