  1. A corporation scans your face, adds you to a criminal database, shares it with dozens of retailers, and when it's wrong, you get £25 voucher and silence from the ICO.

    We gave algorithms the power to punish. We gave victims a QR code.

  2. RE: mastodon.social/@girlonthenet/

    Not like there's any lack of reasons, but yeah.

    As usual, sex workers are among the first to be harmed by bad policies or dubious tools.

    And as long as the stigma stays, they'll sadly remain major targets for abusing those…

  3. High Court rules Met Police scanning millions of faces on London's streets is perfectly legal and not at all the beginning of something we'll deeply regret.

    Anyway, smile, you're on camera. All 50 van's worth.

  5. I thought this business about Jim Carrey possibly having a doppelganger required a response from someone who thinks a lot about the #Science of #FaceRecognition. Enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/PpPU_YzRFeA

  6. As a company director in the UK who needs to submit our accounts.. I now need to verify my identity to do anything tax related. (correction - need it to submit our confirmation statement due in August .. but not yet to submit any accounts) They want photo ID like passport or driving license but also to take a photo via app. Site claims you can input info without the app eg driving license details and link it to credit check to confirm identity - but that doesn't work which seems deliberate. Can confirm ID in person at post office but you have to get a letter which will take ages and they still take a photo and scan your ID. So all smacks of AI shite and #Palantir type data harvesting dodginess - any thoughts masto folks #IDVerification #UKGov #CompaniesHouse #HMRC #DataSecurity #AgeVerification #FaceRecognition

  7. More shit that will be with us even when Trump is gone.

  8. So modern machine learning models can easily distinguish between human faces and sort them according to their owners. Google does that, and I have immich running so I can even do it at home.

    But you know whose faces they can't distinguish?
    Cat faces.

    I feel like that would be a feature people would use.

  9. "#Meta aims to introduce facial recognition to its smart glasses while its biggest critics are distracted, according to a report from The New York Times. In an internal document reviewed by The Times, Meta says it will launch the feature “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

  16. “Free” #Surveillance Tech Still Comes at a High & Dangerous Cost

    The cost of “free” surveillance tools — like #ALPR , networked cameras, #faceRecognition , #drones & data aggregation & analysis platforms — is measured not in tax dollars, but in the erosion of #civilLiberties

    The collection & sharing of our data quietly generates detailed records of people’s movements & associations that can be exposed, hacked, or repurposed without their knowledge or consent

  18. #ICE and CBP’s #FaceRecognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are

    ICE has used #MobileFortify to identify #immigrants and #citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after #DHS abandoned its own #privacy rules.
