Whenever people are worried about criminals using #privacy-oriented software, I'm wondering who do they mean by "criminals"?
Let me point out that in some countries people verbally opposing the authoritarian regime are "criminals", while rapists become presidents. Or people peacefully protesting against genocide are "criminals", while nazis openly calling for violence are model citizens.
So yeah, if I were to develop such software, I'd rather have it used by "criminals". Because, guess what, true criminals will get their hands on that kind of software anyway.

While announcing new data showing that violent crime continues to fall across California’s major cities,
Governor Gavin Newsom today also launched a new website

The website highlights a simple contrast:
Governor Newsom is driving crime down
— and Donald Trump is pardoning drug lords and driving criminals …

The only way I can see for the US to get back to a functioning state is for the GOP and its supporting societies and individuals to be recognized as a criminal organization, like the Mafia in the 1930s -- devoted to the government of criminals, by criminals, for the criminals.
As a consequence, all elections won by GOP candidates since 2016 would be nullified for having been won by criminals. In particular, it would be established that there was no 45th President, nor a 47th.

I would not trust the basic competence of any org doing that. Facial recognition is bad enough.
