Both because someone could stole your money or authorize unwanted action.

What other way of preventing that do you propose? Fingerprint? I will will send the data of fingerprint. Facial recognition? I will just grab your profile picture. What kind of method do you envise that could prove you are you and not somebody malicious?

I'm obviously not the expert, my point is we should try to seek the solution to the problem that arise when the information is public instead of trying to hide the information.

Here is another example: some people argue for privacy because the information can be used to criminalized gay people.

Well then fix the criminalization of gay people instead of trying to hide the fact that they are gay.

Don't change the example. I want to know how do you imagine a method of authentication not requiring any privacy could work. What could be the way to prevent a theft without PIN or private key if your credit card number leak to public?

That could be one way

Then maybe fix it to detect whether its a real person or just a picture.

Or maybe there are better way, I don't know.

Like I said, I'm not the expert, I wouldn't know every solution to every problem.

My point is we should spent the effort on figuring out that problem instead of trying to keep thing hiding.
