12 END) I MAY end up using this app but I am certainly NOT going to be an early adopter. I am gonna see how it goes for Black people using #digitaldriverslicenses before I buy in

11) On the other hand -BECAUSE the DMV is insecure I could see #AfricanAmericans wanting to download the app and associate their #biometric data with their ID before a scammer using a fake ID with their name and birthday downloaded the app and used THEIR OWN biometric data to associate the #digitaldriverslicenses with themselves. The incentive to do this is high since California started demanding new licenses applicants to prove citizenship in 1994 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-02-mn-28981-story.html

8) In addition, after that 2020 #MotherBoard investigative piece showing that California DMV sells biometric data, including data used for facial recognition, to private companies, I have NO confidence about how any #biometric data I upload for the purposes of a #digitaldriverslicenses will be used . https://www.vice.com/en/article/evjekz/the-california-dmv-is-making-dollar50m-a-year-selling-drivers-personal-information

7) The idea that I could be walking around my own city minding my business and a cop could force me to use biometric data to reveal my #digitaldriverslicenses is no less disturbing to me. For that reason while I think the tech is cool I am skeptical that I myself will use it.

THREAD As an #AfricanAmerican I am VERY skeptical about California's new #digitaldriverslicenses . To open the app and show one's DL the DL holder must input biometric data into the phone. At this point I don't know if that data is uploaded to a DMV server. I have a NUMBER of reservations about this @pluralistic @BlackAzizAnansi
