I've been reading about facial recognition equipment and software in the threads these days and the portends are somewhat frightening.
So those vendors are now looking to avoid bans on facial recognition ... of course so ensure that profitability they all want so far above any right to privacy you might have.
As it would happen it seems that outside individuals are seeking regulatory control of facial recognition with talk of increasingly severe prohibitions as things progress.
The eternal skeptic, I applaud these forays into limitation because we all know that the obsolete and abused National Security Act implemented by the former President Truman has mainly placed a thug element into government whereby employees they think they can kill you just because they want to and you have no recourse because they'll just get the tax money from others ... who they'd just as soon kill as well.
So these new age liars who would impose their will further upon us seek to curtail future limitation and quite frankly, the dirtbags at Amazon and Microsoft can go straight to hell along with their facial recognition packages and just use them on that pitiful group of taxpayers who they employ.
I don't want big tech in my life at any level. I especially don't want somebody thinking they can track me based on my face. I use reflective and feedback items on my person to thwart some of it ... and am a student of passive resistance to the cameras the city has posted at every corner.
Something about those who decline the implementation reeks of false witness to me and those network and security company people are not worthy of our trust either.
Supporters view it all as security, intruder interception, and elements of automation for processing queues such as those at airports and other points of entry.
I see it as something subject to abuse because that is the nature of the governement and the National Security Act who would just as soon kill you as look at you and call it "National Security".
Law enforcement is already onboard ... but they would be. I see my personal attire going all EMP emitter and jamming device in the future.
