BIPA saves the day yet again. If your state doesn't have a law similar to Illinois' BIPA you should call your representatives immediately to advocate for it.
Looks they are running into a state law forbiding biometric scanning without disclosure and consent. IOW, they just have to include it in the terms of service nobody reads.

TOS is not enough. Google and meta were forced to add actually ask and consent dialogues and the ability to rescind consent.
Strangers didn't agree to their terms so they can't. Not that it matters, nothing matters, except money, apparently.
