Facial recognition tech could save so much time and money though. Imagine how many man hours would be saved if teachers no longer had to take attendance? Shoplifting would hit all time lows since you wouldn't be able to get away with it short of wearing a mask into the store.

Students ? You're proposing we track students ? It says something that the first example that's used (not just you, I've seen it many times elsewhere, too) is that we track the only group of people who by-and-large cannot consent, and not only that, but in a way that has permanent implications for their right to privacy. Further, the idea of facial recognition being used in every store is atrocious. Not only can they…
Good but don't exempt the government. Many local cities are building out vast networks. Including my very own Miami Beach Police Department.
Every thread with privacy debates make me more and more curious about what kind of things HN users want/need to hide so bad from the public ;) Maybe they own goog stocks in secret. Edit: this isn't serious.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

If you're out in public then what privacy are you expecting?
You'd expect someone on probation to have that kind of situation.

If you purposely ignore the power of new tech. Might as well say nothing changed with the invention of earth moving machinery because you could have done the same thing with a shovel.
Way to miss the point. The invention of the bulldozer didn't change property rights.
These technological changes add additional dimensions, they may not radically change the initial structure but they lead to radically different outcomes than anticipated which society doesn't have to accept.

I'm pretty sure that umvi was sarcastic. Think about his last sentence.
If you're going to be sarcastic over the text on the internet, please make your intent clear with a "/s".

Yep, and its also not a reasonable thing to say "If you go outside you accept total surveillance." Since going outside is a requirement for life. I find it acceptable that if I go outside I might get caught on some store security camera and that video sits on a hard drive for a week and then gets written over but I do not find it acceptable that the store camera recognizes my face and stores my presence in an easily…
Yeah, "find it acceptable" is good verbiage. There seems to be a lot of conflation on this subject between "expectation of privacy" in the practical sense and "expectation of privacy" in the legal sense. Like, you'd better fuckin believe I expect not to be followed by cops or secret agents everywhere I go. I expect it on the persistence forecast basis and because I understand that it's practically impossible to alloc…
They can sit at home, and watch you, and you yesterday, and if they're really intrigued, you ten years ago!

And I'd be fine with that whenever that would happen by a person organically making the decision to do so.
Next gig economy job/alternate reality game: public surveillance
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd expect the same privacy we were getting before such technology came along.
Which is none? Anyone can walk up to you on the street and take your picture.
That said the difference between law enforcement collecting your data and private citizens should also be obvious.
