Funny you should say that. I was paying by credit card over the phone and of course they wanted to know that it was me although they knew it was me. I had to give them a picture otherwise the deal could not go through. I was asked to take a selfie. The selfie took 1 minute because they wanted all the angles of my face.(not telling you, just saying that it did'nt work, try again but this time keep still) Facial recognition is what is was. This technology is in every country and they are building a big database to judge you in the future like China.
