100% agreed on this, and have no idea how to tackle it.
Put a bag over the camera before beginning your transaction!
I was somewhat hoping full face mask/helmet wearing would become in vogue in the past two years with all of the masking requirements like we see in so many sci-fi shows and movies. Algorithms would move to gate analysis or other things, but at least facial recognition could be crossed off.
If a air born pandemic can’t move society in that direction, I fear that we’ll never get to our perpetually masked future.

Shops and many other places have had video cameras for decades to deter theft and crime so people are used to it.
They're completely different. This is solely for intimidation purposes. Cameras previously would show a wide angle view of the store so you can see when someone put something under their jacket, etc. I can understand and accept this. In comparison these new cameras have a very swallow angle of view, they're zoomed in on your face and they're in portrait. They would be completely useless if you wanted to see if someon…

I believe (?) this, as it is stated above, would be illegal in France under the current laws. You have to consent to be the _subject_ of photography in a public place.
Of course, advocates of such systems would argue against that easily.

#225I scored a 9 in beauty you ugly fucks. And my expression was happy, unlike all you normal ugly folk.
9.4 here, which made me wonder if Apple's new webcams add some beautifying filters?
The site also underestimated my age by 10 years (and then accused me of lying about my age!).

Correct. I don't care which government is in question, though. None are worthy of my trust or data.
I work for a company that does projects that are sometimes funded by the EU. I've never heard of the EU ever asking for something in return. You submit your project, the EU either decides to give you money, or not, and you do your project. Sometimes they check whether you've actually done what you said you'd do. No one in the EU has time to deal with the output of the billions of euro's they invest in random projects…
It's not clear if you're trying to make us feel better (the EU doesn't care about this project's data) or worse (the EU has ineffective oversight over this project -- anything could be going on).

I went to a Walmart subsidiary recently, called Líder, and they pulled every bitchvictim move the could pull. More in fact, I now legally have standing to sue for abduction for April 17, 2022 15:49:22 hour at the Líder at 560 Merced (which gives receipts as Walmart) and sent six guards at me claiming I didn't pay, herding me back to their grounds where they have total editorial control over their cameras--but none were interested in looking at a receipt. I started screaming "If you accuse me of theft you have to call the real police!" And a pharmacist across the street heard me and called my family, they showed up with a lawyer who agreed it was highly abusive of their power (these guys wore clothes that said SWAT).
At that point, if the supermarket will accuse me of theft despite paying, DUDE! Everyone has the moral authority to steal from Líder. Líder toes the line of theft literally down to the micrometer (ie shaving microns of plastic) and prostitutes lawyers to say they never steal. They steal, but defend themselves legalistically, ie shitloads of lawyers showing up doing bitch moves quoting laws that were written by culpable serial rapists in the 1973 coup. Economic theft.
If you're going to be falsely accused unconditionally you're obliged to fulfill the accusation with real harm in some way on the grounds that you will be persecuted anyway. It's acting in self-defense, because false accusations of violence are an exactly equivalent act of violence in the opposite direction. And you can't let magic spells disarm you, there's always going to be some conspiratorial threat--just like 7 Walmart employees conspired against me that day, the cashier CE. NEWEN and the 6 guards, all of whom knew they were carrying out a crime.
I personally refuse to carry out this theft myself or benefit from this because it would stain my heroism, but they'll accuse anybody of stealing either way. I'll show up to testify on your behalf if you quote me on this, as a hero according to Roman Law from May 12, 2012, like in US or in Chile which are based on Roman Law
I boycotted Líder, funny thing abduction, guess that's a good description of their market power, they can do all kinds of shit (though in America I was basically satisfied with their business against Amazon), the only thing limiting their total market dominance is the percent of people they abduct. And I only boycott them 90%, that's the trick, when they make a crazy effort to break they boycott I yield in an un-constructive way.
Dude you can totally buy in like a crappy little store run by immigrants which has no Facial Recognition. That's what you have to do. Otherwise, go without. Live downtown. Else you get HD deepfakes INCLUDING framing you as stealing from them in their camera editing zone or, if you sue them, making porn with your face like the kids in school do with photoshop, cyberbullying. There's media blackout on that.

#228Beauty, age, gender and BMI are all just `…` for me ? Also sad to hear that my life expectancy is only 58
It bases your life expectancy on your IP address... where do you live that has an average life expectancy of 58?
Not sure what db they're using for geolocating ips, but mine was miles off (thought I was US, but actually Europe, so not even the right registry!).

The key difference here is that most CCTV up to this point has not been high resolution enough to run facial detection on.
Yes but it wouldnt cost that much to replace those with newer, higher resolution ones.
Re: How normal am I?
#230Well executed. I was aware of most of the data protection and privacy concerns presented, but I wasn't aware facial recognition system are being used as widely as suggested here. If these systems ever become widely adopted I might seriously consider obscuring my face in public. Here in the UK I've noticed over the last year or so many supermarket self checkouts have been fitted with cameras and screens. I'm not naive…
I played around with Amazon's Rekognition software. I took one of those youtube videos where someone takes a picture of themselves every day for 10 years. It was fairly ideal conditions (consistent lighting, same pose for the most part) but the kid also went from 12 years old to 22, so his face definitely changed a lot. I used the first image as the image to compare the rest to (12 years old at the time), and I was s…
There was this one incident in China where the facial recognition system mistaked the face of a chinese celebrity on a bus for a jaywalker... so the system isn't perfect for special conditions/environments yet. However I do believe that results today are already outstanding and will only get better.
