  Apps are easier, and they can design the app so they they query a list of all your other apps. They’ll know if you used any encrypted messaging apps, so later they know to search your chat logs and you cannot have plausible deniability (unless you use a second phone for your encrypted messaging apps).

  If they make it mandatory, using a flip phone is gonna be breaking the law.

    How would they gain your fingerprint? I didn’t think iOS or Android actually passed that on to apps I thought the OS handled biometric authentication and just informed the app that the fingerprint matched?

      Yes but the fingerprint wouldn’t match would it so they don’t actually have to see your fingerprint they just need to get the error back from the phone OS

        Nothing stopping an exta fingerprint being registered though…

      Looking original in telegram:

      Tap for spoiler

      “Предложенной депутатами поправкой для иностранных граждан вводится: 📍 обязательная регистрация по месту нахождения; 📍 дактилоскопия; 📍 биометрическое фотографирование; 📍 мониторинг геолокации абонентских устройств.” Or “The amendment proposed by the deputies introduces for foreign citizens: 📍 mandatory registration at the place of residence; 📍 fingerprinting; 📍 biometric photography; 📍 monitoring of the geolocation of subscriber devices.”

      it will just be collected throught immigration police not just throught the app.
