I think this kind of biometric immigration verification will come to many countries eventually. Like UK, Japan and USA already tested this kind of procedure and Singapore is just one step ahead with this full implementation. So, we just can’t avoid it. If this kind of verification concerns you a lot just don’t travel abroad.
Singapore isn’t one step ahead, it’s full-on surveillance state.
The implications here are that if you go through this process, then these biometrics will bought and sold throughout the world. You’ll be tracked absolutely everywhere.
You can choose not to use social media… the choice is way harder for avoiding plane travel unless you can afford the time and money to use other means, which most people don’t.
Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.
If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

Yeah it’s for sure an issue in the rest of the world too. Not discounting that

But it is the same if you have a regular (non-anonymous) social media account.

No. It is just other people who are using your data.
You seem to have no idea what everybody is doing with all the data that you have posted.
