Google's selfie video sign in raises deepfake privacy concern

GOOGLE is introducing a new selfie video verification method for account recovery, allowing users to record a video of their face to prove identity. While this aims to enhance user convenience, it raises concerns regarding security, privacy, and the risks of deepfake technology. Critics point out issues such as the potential for false positives in facial recognition, the storage of sensitive biometric data, and the implications of changing privacy policies. Users are advised to opt for traditional security methods like strong passwords and two-factor authentication instead.
