As if face, fingerprints, and iris scan weren’t enough for Identification. Now the Vietnamese government wants its citizens DNA too.
Uh, wow. Dystopian as fuck. What exactly do they think this is needed for? Also, they just collect some material or are they sequencing every single sample? How deep are they sequencing? This is going to be expensive. Maybe its to get people to not get passports anymore? I don’t know, makes no sense.
If you ignore the privacy issues having everyone use biometrics for everything would massively cut down on fraud.
I’m not advocating for it at all. But you can’t deny it would ruin a lot of scams.
Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.
Singapore has too many rich Chinese already.
