IRS plan to scan your face prompts anger in Congress, confusion among taxpayers. Millions of poor people will be forced to buy news cell phones and plans they can't afford. IRS doesn't give 2 shits.

I don't agree with their use of facial recognition, but just to clarify this is only if you use the IRS website. You can still file traditionally or e-file using a different provider. And let's be real, why would you use a tax service provided from the organization taking your money?

Wtf...

"But by this summer, anyone wanting to access their records — including details about child tax credits, payment plans or tax transcripts — on the IRS website could be required to record a video of their face with their computer or smartphone, and send it to the private contractor ID.me to confirm their identity."

I'm surprised the ACLU hasn't sued on behalf of black people.

This is a great angle to attack the planned rollout.

Facial recognition is racist, and a tax on the poor.

This could be Internet checkmate from TPTB

We need to attack this from every angle.

I've heard whisperings of a false flag internet cyber attack on the banks.

After they "fix" the Internet, the plan is to require a digital ID and facial recognition in order to access the internet.

This will be used to track, tax, and roll back cryptos.
And assign that social credit score.

People assumed front facing cameras (and video calling) were built and installed for free...
