BIG BROTHER UPDATE: IRS Will Start Using Facial Recognition and Require Selfies to Pay Your Taxes Online

Privacy continues to be under attack as Big Brother US government turns to facial recognition and plans to require selfies in order for Americans to file their tax returns online. 

Yahoo reports that the IRS will soon be requiring Americans to share selfies with the entity in order to file their tax returns online.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is going to require users of its online tax payment services to create an identification account, which will involve sending off a selfie for facial recognition.

Security blogger Brian Krebs was the first to spot a message on the IRS website directing users to create an account with a company called ID.me.

“If you have an existing IRD username, please create a new ID.me account as soon as possible. We’re bringing you an improved sign-in experience. You won’t be able to log in with your existing IRS username and password starting in summer 2022,” the message read.

Creating an ID.me account involves submitting various pieces of official documentation, as well as taking a live video selfie.

An IRS spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo that users will need an ID.me account to make and view payments, and access their tax records.

The Department of the Treasury did not immediately respond when contacted by Insider.

Big Brother has now morphed from Big Tech billionaires to the US government.
