[Clearview AI nods in approval]
Shame the approach René Carmille took is no longer popular. I guess it’s easy for us to wash our hands of what our software is used for - it’s bad guys who use it, and maybe it’s bad guys that sell it to bad guys, all I do is close some jiras

I understand you're being sarcastic, but it isn't hard to realize that the compulsory veiling of women is objectively wrong. The issue is to the coercion of women and girls. Arguments about which culture is good and decent need not factor into it.
Just to be crystal clear here, I find this behavior as abhorrent as you do.
But to claim that any human behavior is "objectively wrong" is asinine. What's "wrong" and "right" just exists in our heads.
See also the ongoing saga of what seems to be the Iranian government (literally, physically) poisoning school girls.
Morality aside, does this surprise anyone? All countries use cameras do enforce their laws, why would Iran be different? The problem here is Iran, cameras have nothing to do with it.
Surveillance cameras have everything to do with consolidating power into fewer and fewer hands. Therefore fewer voices of dissent on the levers of power.
Iran is going through a demographic shift. The protests and strikes are evidence of a desire for change. With tools like this even small acts of defiance become higher risk.
I've personally known 2 women from Iran who are not fans of the US foreign policy, but become red with anger and visibly shaking when talking about their govt's treatment of women.
Why "but"? Those are usually the same groups of people.

This reminds me of the "guns don't kill people" argument. Surveillance cameras have everything to do with consolidating power into fewer and fewer hands.

So you're telling me if we banned cameras in Iran, women would no longer be oppressed?
