No, this the same dangerous level as locked bootloaders and hardware attestation. One day you may need to send a "signed" photo for age checks. And for government requests and so on.
Don't do it, it's...
Let me add a bit more. Apple is already abusing it's position:
- removed bitchat from india appstore
- blocked torrenting app from an external app store in europe (revoked key)
- removed crucial life-saving vpn apps from russian and chinese app stores
- blocks install of apps on YOUR OWN DEVICE.
- decides if YOUR OWN BACKUPS of YOIR OWN DATA, are encrypted or not - the UK case.
- and worst of the worst: Apple used a security feature, always present as security only, for behavior control and deanonymisation. Let me explain and clarify: APPLE USED LOCKED BOOTLOADERS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO SEND CREDIT CARD DETAILS OR AN ID.
Do you really think, that hardware signed photos, magically won't be abused by Apple and/or governments? Or big corporations?
