How is this any worse than the fingerprint scanner I use to unlock my cell phone?
Btw, a perfectly acceptable answer would be "they are both bad, and you shouldn't be giving away any of your biometric data so easily." But can you articulate why?
its about who you trust with your data, i guess. its perfectly possible for a fingerprint scanner to only store data locally and not share it with anyone. I think that's probably the case by default with most phones, although i'm guessing backdoors exist so they can retrieve your print if they needed to.
However, when you use amazon's, there is no presumption of privacy. you are just donating your biometrics to an international database.
I assume none of the data I enter into any digital internet connected device is private.
