Ah, the UK government, always at the forefront of innovation! 🧐 Now you need to show your ID just to post a duck-face selfie. Because nothing screams "privacy" quite like a mandatory face scan for tweeting cat memes. 🐱🥴

It is not that humans don't make mistakes, but " #artificialintelligence can make mistakes much faster & on a much bigger scale
Pretty please, dear #robot
How it does not help to give #meta a #facescan & other biometrical data to #secure your account - because of " #AI " " #support "
@404mediaco describes the dumbest #security nightmare

Big Brother's got nothing on this 🤖 therapy app demanding patients' faces as a VIP pass to mental health! Because, obviously, nothing screams privacy like scanning your mug for a chat about life's woes. 🙄 #TotallySecure #NotCreepyAtAll

Still concerned about handing over your #biometrics data to some shady, anonymous 3rd party? Me too, but retail outlets have an app for that now (2 articles in my RSS feed):

CW: US politics : leaked Persona code, Discord age verification, mass surveillance caught red-handed. It's just what people suspected.
Persona, the age verification service for discord, had its exposed frontend code analyzed by a hacker. It compares your selfie to watchlist photos. It screens you against 14 categories of adverse media (from mentions of terrorism to espionage), and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships.
https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona"Yes.
Discord has rolled out their age verification already.
Yes.
Discord said nothing about the fact they were going to a month earlier than they stated.
Yes.
The system is malfunctioning and forcing users into uploading ID's because the face scan software doesnt work.
Yes."

Fuck your age verification plans. Don’t be fooled #FaceScan and ID laws are not here to protect children, they are here to enable more #surveillance and #fascist ideologies.

New Privacy Guides article 🙅♀️🔒
by me:Sometimes, it can feel like our data is being harvested left and right, completely outside of our control or consent.
Yet, we still have a powerful weapon to fight back against surveillance:
The power to say NO.
Saying no is how we stand a fighting chance against the normalization of mass surveillance.
We must exercise this right every time we possibly can.

I want more details as to what is going on in that case where Google payed 1.375 billion in damages after allegedly collecting #biometrics and tracking users without user consent.
"According to the lawsuit, since at least 2015, Google has unlawfully (without consent) collected Texans' face and voice scans to empower its targeted advertising business.
Additionally, Google was accused of persistently tracking Texans who used its products and services, constantly logging their location and searches made while in Chrome's incognito mode."

@danie10 @hcj Australia's new law effectively means #teens will not be able to research topics that may OR MAY NOT BE affecting their society, as they move into #adulthood, this effectively reduces under-16s in #australia (and if this global trend continues, the world) as second class citizens, 2nd class youth will invariably lead to 2nd class adults. Information is NOT #alcohol, its NOT an addictive drug, it is the bigtech platforms that have weaponized the social spaces.... social spaces in general are NOT THE PROBLEM!
the australian govt comparing this law to an #alcoholBan ought horrify every living person on earth. we should be reminded also of what the "war on drugs" actually achieved, in so far as it simply put a bunch of recreational users into the #prisonIndustrialComplex. I put forward that THIS is the real goal of this new global push by govts to ban #information for our youth.
It is also akin to the burning of books, because when govt (today in the 'land-down-under') ties access to the internet to getting a #facescan, or a govt-issued #digitalID that will spell the end of #academicFreedom. The so-called #freeAndOpenWeb and #fediverse community must move swiftly to make australia's new laws redundant.
Mobilise now....
....we ONLY have 12 months make i2p federation a native feature of :butterfedyC: fediverse servers.

Well that's the end for another form of #travel for me. (Already gave up #flying.
I don't want a #facescan anyway but I'm absolutely not removing my #FFP3 #N99 #mask #indoors in a busy #railway #terminal.
Catching #covid in a #trainstation with hundreds of #strangers is a huge #risk. It seems most are willing to put #travelling over their #health now, even though 10% who get #covid19 end up with the utter misery of #longcovid

You can say no to a #TSA face scan. But even a senator had trouble.
Let’s ask two questions about airports’ use of facial recognition: Is it truly voluntary? And is it worth it?

Next step, würde ich aber mal prognostizieren, ist zunächst den #FaceScan einzuführen, um #Gesichtserkennung breit zu normalisieren.
Das kann man auch als notwendig verkaufen, um Gefährder, Kriminelle, Terroristen usw. einfacher zu finden - vgl. #INDECT. https://archive.org/details/ProjectIndecteuSurveillanceProgramme
