Great. Big Tech has our pictures, our memories, our families and relationships, our likes, dislikes, basically everything to do with our identities. The Government has our fingerprints. Cameras and our own phones record our every movement, action, and/or spoken word. An iris was one of the few pieces of information that wasn't available to you. Now you want it too. Sincerely, fuck you.

TikTok already started capturing people's irises awhile ago. That's why all of those eye tracking filters became available, to get the data they needed.
