  1. "Innocent shoppers should not have to submit to Orwellian identity checks just to buy a loaf of bread or pick up nappies. The mass rollout of live facial recognition across Sainsbury's stores is a shameful decision that treats customers like suspects, putting millions of law-abiding people at serious risk of privacy intrusions and humiliating false shoplifting accusations."

  3. This morning, I had the urge to stick out my tongue at my phone to see if it would still recognize my face ...

    I didn't do it and that puzzles me.

  5. I wouldn't say I dislike that all the new outlets are like "Hmmm … smart glasses might be a bit inconvenient for your privacy"—how about a news piece titled "How to effectively fight against smart glasses in an act of digital self defense"

  7. I’m currently watching an ABC iView drama series called #TheCapture. The central theme is ubiquitous #CCTV coverage coupled to #AI and #FacialRecognition. It is a BBC series so the action happens in the UK. The story expands on London’s CCTV coverage and the ability to identify anyone based on facial recognition software. It extrapolates this technology to marry it up with advances in #AI ability to fake video footage with dire consequences of course. It makes for a chilling series and more that a little unsettling considering what #TechBros can already do today because it is but a short step to what is portrayed.

    I’ve just made sure both cameras on my iPad are securely taped over. Can’t do much about the microphone, but I’m a quiet person anyway.

    If this sounds like panic… no, it’s not… well at least not yet…

    You never know who’s watching you though…

    Ps. Don’t take this too seriously, we have a few years to go before such technology is possible and becomes a tool to pervert the course of justice and enable Ai-driven technolog given the power to be judge and jury and, dare I say, the executioner.

    Perverted AI technologies? What’s not to like?

    A great series to watch though.

  9. UK launched largest facial recognition programme in British history: 27 police forces, £26m, LFR in knife crime hotspots. Algorithm has documented racial bias, scans everyone, 50 vans deployed. Mainstream coverage: almost none.

  11. 🤔 Thinking about using one's face to unlock devices...
    What happens to the ability to unlock a device after one's face ages?
    Some people's facial features remain the same for decades, then abruptly start to change with wrinkles and loss of muscle tone so I am thinking in the future this could be a problem.

  13. #Meta Tapped a #Pentagon Supplier to Prototype #FacialRecognition for Its #SmartGlasses
    The arrangement is documented in a software license, obtained by WIRED, that was issued by #RankOne Computing—a Denver-based company that derives roughly 80 percent of its revenue from government clients (#US Marshalls, #NCIS, US Special Operations Command)—and is tied to a test version of the Meta #AI app that powers Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses.

  15. Northeastern University: Regulations don’t go far enough to protect privacy when it comes to smart glasses, experts say. “The issue is not just whether people know they’re being recorded and privacy concerns brought about by smart glasses aren’t new. But a recent revelation about a new face-recognition feature for Meta’s smart glasses that was not yet available to users renews the […]

    "You Absolutely SHOULD NOT Tell People
    That Datacenters are filled with #Gold, #Silver, #Palladium and are almost completely unstaffed."

    But make sure you use masks against #FacialRecognition -- 'cuz, #BigBrotherIsWatching! (#BitBrother?)

  21. "Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who have publicly criticized the venue’s use of facial recognition technology, putting their tweets and comments into a document that was then accessible to other people inside the company, 404 Media has found.

    The news shows that MSG, operated by Jim Dolan who has garnered a reputation for being pernicious against his perceived enemies, is not only deploying controversial facial recognition technology but keeping track of specific people who take issue with it. The document was included in a 45GB cache of data hackers stole from MSG and posted online this month, which 404 Media then downloaded and reviewed.

    “The wake of a data breach would be a good time for Madison Square Garden to stop subjecting its patrons to biometric surveillance,” Adam Schwartz, privacy litigation director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and one of the people included in the document, told 404 Media."

  23. Madison Square Garden installed facial recognition and kept a file on the people who dared to say it was dangerous.

    Cameras at the door are one thing. Dossiers in the back office, private power deciding who gets watched, who gets flagged, and who gets shut out is a complete bigger beast.

    The West is becoming a private surveillance state where buying a ticket means letting the machine own your face.
