> Why would _that_ be the problem

Because it should still be my choice as to what you do with it, which data you associate with it, and how you store it. Removing that choice is anti-privacy.

It's way less your choice what happens with a photo of your face in pretty much every other situation.

When your face is on your LinkedIn profile, anyone can download it and do whatever they want with it. Legally. Here, the vendor has to tell you how they use it.

  • Someone downloading it randomly is not the same as me volunteering information said random person wouldn't otherwise have and having that information be stored next to my image in a database that can be breached.

    All for a checkmark next to my profile that says I'm a real human.
