Really? catfishing is this much of a risk that we'd rather eliminate privacy completely and provide biometric data that tinder can then sell to whoever?
I mean you're ALREADY giving them your name, photo, address, age, and a bunch of private romantic chats. If you trust Tinder enough for that I don't see what difference a video of your face makes.
One thing is to provide a flat photo, another is to provide close detailed biometric readings of your face where you're effectively providing a 3d image detailing the contours of your body, that could prehaps be duplicated to unlock faceID but absolutely generates information that can be used to identify you from surveillance video accurately, more accurately than flat photos alone.
You don't need to provide an address, accurate DOB, or really talk about anything deep in chats. Linking your name/address/dob to a general dating site isn't particularly concerning for me since all of this information has been leaked over and over and over again from various 'highly secure' businesses like healthcare companies, experian etc. Those leaks don't have biometrics like fingerprints or facial geometry though. No reason to have even more PII submitted to these shithole companies that will let themselves get breached because hiring tech security is pricey and doesn't add revenue to the bottom line.
