Consequently, the state of Wyoming uses the federal login system that requires you to upload your drivers license and submit a video of your face, though I think you can opt out and go to a post office for an ID verification. The push for digital ID by 2030 is very promising, as I have the theory that since the Lord will rule the earth for 1,000 years in the millennial kingdom, he’s limiting the church age to 2,000 years, where 2030, or there about, coincides with the beginning of his ministry. So this accelerated time table fits with the extraction of the church and the mark of the beast system being realized as referenced for the tribulation. And the supernatural fallen angels can actually make these systems work and substitute their own intelligence for AI superintelligence, and instead of Vibe coding, demon coding…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That \u201cblack pill moment\u201d is arriving faster than many realize. Not primarily through sweeping new government mandates, but through private companies quietly normalizing biometric data collection<\/strong> under the banners of \u201csecurity,\u201d \u201cfraud prevention,\u201d and \u201cchild protection.\u201d They are erecting the infrastructure for a world where you cannot easily participate in daily life, commerce, or even basic online access without surrendering your face, your license scan, or other biometrics. Once the systems exist and the data flows, laws can simply ratify what private actors have already made routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent commentary \u201cDigital ID Black Pill Moment\u201d, I highlighted a sobering reality: 186 out of 198 countries already have digital ID systems in place<\/strong>. Only a shrinking handful of nations lack foundational national digital IDs. As I wrote, \u201cthe global push for digital IDs is far advanced, likely past the point of no return, aligning with the UN\u2019s 2030 goal of universal legal identity and enabling a globalist digital currency system that could control access to everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook\/Meta: Selfie or Stay Locked Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Government mandates are not required to finish building the digital surveillance prison. Citizens are willingly submitting their biometrics to access social media sites. For example, I am no longer on Facebook. They banned me during the Covid era after I began sharing information about the true contents of the shots and alternative treatments. A friend just sent me a Facebook post and I could not view it without taking a selfie and sending it to FB. No way was I going to comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try viewing certain Facebook posts or recovering a flagged account, and you may hit this wall. Users are increasingly prompted to submit a video selfie<\/strong> turning their head in different directions so the system can map facial geometry to \u201cprove you\u2019re a real person\u201d or restore access. The company states it uses this to combat scams and compromised accounts, and claims the video is deleted after verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what the prompt looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/

\"\"\/
about.fb.com<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is not a rare case. It is quickly becoming the normal way companies handle account recovery, new account setup, suspected suspicious activity, or even basic access to articles and information on many websites. Your facial biometric data is sent to a private company that already holds huge amounts of user information and is under constant pressure and often partners with governments and international standards organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uber: Selfie + Driver\u2019s License Scan Just to Ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My husband recently tried to order an Uber ride and was required to submit a selfie plus front and back photos of his driver\u2019s license<\/strong> before the app would proceed. Uber\u2019s official materials describe identity verification (including selfies matched via facial recognition) primarily for drivers to prevent account sharing, and for riders it is often framed as optional for a \u201cverified badge.\u201d Yet real users are encountering these hard prompts in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are examples of the verification flows Uber and similar platforms use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/

The stated reason is safety and trust on the platform. The practical effect is another private company harvesting and cross-referencing your facial biometrics and government ID data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banking, Finance, Telecom, and Beyond<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major banks now routinely use facial recognition or selfie verification for mobile app logins, high-value transfers, account opening (a process known as KYC, or \u201cKnow Your Customer\u201d identity verification required by banking regulations), and fraud checks. Telecom providers require selfies for SIM card swaps (replacing your phone\u2019s Subscriber Identity Module card) or account modifications. Gig economy platforms (such as ride-sharing or delivery services like Uber, DoorDash, or similar) use third-party services that demand selfie plus ID document verification. Some retail and payment systems are piloting biometric checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the kind of selfie\/biometric prompt users see in identity verification flows used by banks and fintechs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proponents say this reduces identity theft, speeds up processes, and improves security compared to passwords or one-time codes. The result, however, is the same: your face becomes the key to your money and services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver\u2019s Licenses Already Contain Biometric Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every U.S. state requires a facial photograph<\/strong> on driver\u2019s licenses and state IDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That photo<\/strong> is biometric data. Many states\u2019 DMV databases feed into facial recognition systems used by law enforcement. REAL ID standards and emerging mobile driver\u2019s licenses (mDLs) are digitizing and enhancing this further. Eighteen states already have biometric-enabled digital driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age Verification Laws Accelerate the Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Florida\u2019s HB 3 (Online Protections for Minors) restricts social media access for children under 14 and requires parental consent for 14- and 15-year-olds. To comply, platforms must verify ages using government ID or biometric data. The result is that adults, too, will need to submit ID or facial biometrics simply to access platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and others. Similar requirements are advancing under the UK\u2019s Online Safety Act, which mandates robust age verification, including facial age estimation, for sites hosting potentially harmful or pornographic content, with ripple effects across social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents Should be the Gatekeepers Not the Government<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proponents argue these measures protect children from predators, explicit content, and addictive algorithms, while giving parents better tools to manage access. I believe the real solution lies with parents themselves. Parents should be the primary gatekeepers, setting firm limits and supervising where their children go online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s children, immersed in cell phones from a young age, are losing the ability to communicate effectively on a normal, personal level. If I were raising children now, I would not give them a cell phone. We grew up with perfectly fulfilling childhoods without them. Instead of relying on government-mandated biometric checkpoints, we should return responsibility to families. Yet the architecture being built creates a universal biometric gateway for internet participation: one that affects everyone, not just minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bigger Picture: Agenda 2030 and the \u201cCannot Buy or Sell\u201d Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is not happening in a vacuum. It aligns with the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goal 16.9 push for universal legal identity by 2030 and the broader frameworks of the Great Reset \/ Agenda 2030. Private companies are doing the expensive, politically risky work of normalizing biometric surrender and building interoperable databases. Once the data exists at scale, faces linked to licenses, accounts, transactions, and online activity, adding legal requirements for purchases, services, or internet access becomes trivial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are told it is all for safety, convenience, fraud prevention, and protecting the vulnerable. Yet the cumulative effect is a world in which opting out becomes increasingly difficult<\/strong>, anonymity erodes, and every interaction can be tracked, verified, and potentially scored or restricted through biometric identifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infrastructure for systems in which you \u201ccannot buy or sell without an ID\u201d is being assembled one prompted selfie at a time by Meta, Uber, banks, app developers, and verification vendors. This often happens before governments even pass the final laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been warned. The question now is whether we will continue feeding the system our most personal biometric data in the name of convenience, or whether we will recognize the trap while there is still room to resist, opt out where possible, demand real privacy protections, and support alternatives that do not require surrendering our faces to participate in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
