This is the sort of tyranny that should have politicians' blood running down the streets, but I assume they'll just roll over and take it, ushering it a digital dark age for the rest of us as all the governments around the world realize what they can get away with now.
I do wonder how the public will act when they have to verify their identity every single time they want to access Facebook, Netflix or do their grocery shopping online. Like I say, this is going to be a nightmare. That's probably when people will notice and get angry. But in private, it's likely websites will shut down their comment sections to avoid the risk of ruinous fines and social media will have to heavily moderate posts.
The way it works on the phones is basically automatic, the front facing camera is just on all the time. They will make it convenient enough for anyone with a current phone that the normies won't care.
It's also likely the phone will act as a bridge for devices that may not have a camera such as game consoles, TV's, digital media players (ie. Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV) and so forth. They'll likely have facial recognition via their apps that communicates with the device.
They also pulled this shit durring the lockdowns already, making Ausies actually take a picture of themselves and send it every few hours to prove they were home, and even that didn't get much pushback. And Canadians are still using the ArriveCan app.
If it's all integrated and "easy" after those inconvenient prototypes succeeded, I fear far too many will just go along with it.
And once one country does it, and the field is prepared because sites and services have capitulated and built the final framework, the dominoes will fall far too quickly.

We already know. We saw how the whole of society rolled over and showed their bellies for the Covid dictates. This will be the same nightmarish hellscape. People won't resist at all. They'll do exactly as they're told because they are functionally just livestock.

I was going to say that all the NPCs have already been conditioned to use their iPhone's Face ID as their screenlock.

They will do it. No complaints
Oh yeah? We'll just wait for the citizens of the UK to find their guns shall we? Any moment now they will be able to mount an armed resistance.
Any. Moment. Now.
