 One of the really unfortunate things that I see with most people is they really don't take their privacy or their security seriously, especially online and I see way too many people voluntarily giving companies Biometric information and you really shouldn't do that And you should never give a company your DNA your iris scans your fingerprints Voice patterns, you know things like that even typing patterns anything that's an immutable Characteristic of you you should never give a company that because that's personal information That people can use to do all kinds of negative things, you know, obviously people can use it to identify you That's why these companies want it because it's a personal characteristic for you But the problem is what happens when hackers get this information, right? recently I was reading an article of a cryptocurrency company that was asking everyone on the planet to please scan their irises their eyeballs, right and Give them that and they would give you a little cryptocurrency in exchange for this And it was an effort to I guess spread wealth around the world to give everybody on the planet a little bit of crypto All we want is a scan of your eye, right? And that's horrible because that's basically we're all in a database now, right? We're all identified with this immutable characteristic our iris scans and what happens when some Malicious company or government entity gets ahold of that information, right? We're all at risk at that point and it's not like a password, you know fingerprints and iris scans and DNA They're not like passwords. You can't change your biometric data, right? It's something that once it's compromised It's compromised. You can't just go change your fingerprint or change your eyeball I have some family members that here in the last year or two have really gotten into Ancestry.com it's one of these DNA companies where you send them the DNA and then they tell you, you know What percentage of what race you are and then of course because they have so many people's DNA They'll tell you who you're related to they'll find relatives that you didn't know you had right and that's kind of neat, right? And that's how they attract especially elderly people that are really interested in this for some reason So I've got a lot of relatives that are voluntarily sending things like ancestry.com. They're DNA So they're all they've mapped all this DNA. They've got everybody tracked They know who's related to who and you know who's what percentage of nationality and what percentage of this race and that thing and You can see how this information In the wrong hands would be a really bad thing and you really need to think about this before you You sign up for one of these things and voluntarily give this biometric information to a company You know, even though you get something out of it in most cases, you know It's cryptocurrency or you get to find out relatives that you didn't know you had. Well, that's great That's great for you to have that information. But now that company has that information Well, maybe you trust that company you hopefully you do because you gave them some really important information, right? But what happens when their databases are compromised went what happens when a malicious entity gets a hold of that information? What happens, you know, like this ancestry calm thing where, you know, they find out your your relatives So we're talking about, you know, different nationalities different ethnic groups that you belong to what happens when a really evil government regime Takes a hold we've seen this many times in world history and we're talking about countries in Europe Asia Africa and the Americas where Evil regime comes to power a racist regime such as, you know These regimes that want to do ethnic cleansing. Well, that's nice that we now have this database We can go prove who is pure and who is not and then we can, you know, liquidate those that don't meet our requirements What's really concerning to me though is the fact that you can't change your biometric data, right? You can't change your fingerprints. You can't change your your iris What happens if you're involved in some serious accident and you lose your fingers or you lose your eyes, right? And then If that was the only way to verify your identity I mean, you're completely screwed at that point now I don't want to be one of these conspiracy theorist alarmist types because I'm not one of those types It's not a situation where the New World Order or the Illuminati, you know Is collecting all this information so they can rule the world. It's nothing like that But still, you know, these companies that are collecting all this information when this information falls into the wrong hands It's a serious situation. I just want people to think about that, you know You have no business ever giving anybody your fingerprints or your DNA or your iris scans or anything like that voice Recognition and all of this stuff. Just don't do it for privacy reasons, right? It's really Really privacy invasive to give this information out to anyone really and I just want people to think about that and those of you That obviously work for companies where they use things like voice recognition face recognition and iris scans things like that Obviously then you're actually forced to give people this information if you want to work at that company But those of you that work in the IT department so of these companies for example I'm sure some of you do, you know, make sure that they're using that information Responsibly make sure this information they're storing You can't really store it in a secure way The only secure way to do this is make sure that information that they're storing is stored Temporarily, right? It's not just hanging around because if it's hanging around at all Someone's gonna get it a hacker is going to get it or a government that likes to hack You know, and there's a few of those out there, you know, they're going to get that information And what really bothers me though is that so many people have never even thought about this is that the Individuals out there, you know, so many people out there have never even considered how privacy invasive giving this kind of information out is and That's concerning to me, which is the point of this video today Now before I go, I need to think a few special people.
