Many state unemployment also uses this system along with SS. I had to do it to get my unemployment last year when we were shut down. I did not let them know I had a smart phone. I have a small tracfone just for emergency calls - that is the number they get. They wanted the facial recognition. So, I had to use my computer with a really crappy webcam so the software would not work. Someone had to finally call me and they took a screenshot of my face to verify. No facial recognition for me so far.
It is going to get more and more difficult to navigate this digital system they are herding us into and many of us are not in a position to go completely off grid. Therefore, I fight back any way I can. If I am forced into this system, I will not make it easy for them. I keep as minimal a footprint as I can manage.
Do not comply.
Easier said than done - I know - so what do we do?
I call and put in my deep hat with this kinda thing and pretend like I have an IQ of 60.
Plenty of society has a phone and can’t make simple shit like this work. Let’s be honest. That’s the flaw in their system.
I am not providing my face for them to take my money. That’s like them getting to deck me in the face and then demand my wallet.
I hear you. Believe me, they did not get a good pic of my face. It was not facial recognition. The lighting was bad and he had to take a screen shot from his computer screen. I made sure I did not look like I do normally. We fight our battles where we can. I know the low IQ routine. I had a buddy that was a master at it and it worked every time.
Unfortunately, we have to do some things that cannot be helped. Not many of us are in a position where we can just unplug - that is what makes it all so difficult. I have been on the sidelines since this bull crap started just so I did not have to participate in all this Covid crap. Not sure how much longer I will be able to ride it out. When it comes to the IRS, I'm with you. It will be a cold day in hell before I give them my face so they can take my money. As far as the phone. All these people know is my cheap trac phone that has no internet or touchscreen capability. It's just a phone.
We have the capacity to bring this whole thing down. The phones are the key. But, will people be willing to give the damn things up in order to have their freedom?
Honestly a clone phone is a great idea. That’s why I use my prepaid bit w cards I don’t purchase.
I need to look into some of the SIM by mail stuff now that I think about it
That is the phone I take with when I leave my house. It is off and in a faraday bag. I only need it in the event of an emergency. In addition, it has all my backup numbers. So, if something happens to my smart phone, I don't lose my numbers. The smart phone stays at home and is off most of the time. I only use it for phone calls and texting. Most all the apps are either disabled or uninstalled. Location is off. On the rare occasion I am online, I have a VPN. Hey, there is a reason why crooks and spies use burner phones.
