Why It Matters
Because if the government doesn’t protect biometric data like face scans and fingerprints, it could lead to privacy violations and misuse of people’s personal information. For example, the article mentions that ICE didn’t always provide notices explaining how people’s data would be used, which is a violation of privacy rules.
