Amazon One Palm Scanner, IDEMIA, Consumer Data Platforms
Amazon is promoting "Amazon One," a biometric service that allows users to pay and identify themselves by scanning their palms. Simultaneously, IDEMIA, the company behind TSA PreCheck, is working with several U.S. states to launch mobile IDs that could integrate with health passes. The hosts warn that these technologies are feeding into a centralized "Consumer Data Platform" that will eventually determine social credit scores.
