    Congress attempting to functionally extinguish copyright term limits, extend copyright protection to 140+ years; the 11th such extension in the past 40 years.

    **Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

    This is a bad idea:

    1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
    2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
    3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

    Please re-Toot.
