Can those Credit Systems be it China’s or any social networking services be gamed? I’ve seen a lot of people deleting their accounts out of fear for their data and privacy. But at the same time, a lot people get the system to work in their favor, e.g r/churning. I’m not dismissing the harm or discouraging conversation for privacy. Just asking if we can hack it.

5) Are there any anti-spoofing measures already out there? It sounds like if there are, they can be easily bypassed...

“ One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than some biometric alternatives because you can’t determine a person’s identity by looking at an image of their palm.”

Wow. Never thought of that. But is it easy to reconstruct veins?

I still don’t get it: why would you choose something that’s so hard to change, if ever, for a store ID? It’s convenient but is it secure? There are photos of me waving with my palms out...
So you are upset that now other people can stop you from exploiting me when I am not using your service? Hmmmmmmmm
