It will be 2025 and 95% of Americans will have had coronavirus, but you'll take my mask from my cold dead hands before I willingly show my entire face to the camera recording me at self-checkout
If this trend continues and places are using facial recognition more and more nefariously, I guarantee we'll start seeing an increase in masks. Not just like n95 masks, but full face masks designed to completely conceal a person's identity. Eventually we won't be able to recognize each other in public.
The next gen "smart glasses" will just project a holographic image on top of your own face as "cruelty free makeup" but also makes it hard for facial recognition systems to function.
Preventing this would be violating freedom of speech for corporations.
What? You don’t feel safe being guarded by a bunch of pedophiles with the same brain capacity as joe biden?
It's bad, folks.
The Garden is already known for its tight security. There is always a heavy police presence in part because the arena is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and built above Pennsylvania Station, the nation’s busiest rail terminal. The station is patrolled by law enforcement officers and sometimes soldiers on alert for terrorism. Fans attending events at the Garden go through screenings that can include metal detectors, bag searches and explosive-sniffing dogs.
“We have always made it clear to our guests and to the public that we use facial recognition as one of our tools,” the company said in a statement.
High-tech surveillance by government is already common in New York City. The Police Department relies on a toolbox that includes not only facial recognition, but drones and mobile X-ray vans, and this month the department said it would join Neighbors, a public neighborhood-watch platform owned by Amazon. Neighbors allows video doorbell owners to post clips online, and police officers can enlist the help of residents in investigations.
I guess this is what they do with that insane billion dollar policing budget. Guns, guards and cameras
You know how Blazing Saddles killed the hokey cowboy western TV shows of the 50s and 60s?
We need a comedy to kill the NCIS NYPD CSIs. A movie that shows policing for what it is. What a fucking joke 'facial recognition' and 'enhancing' is. You know how 90+% of crimes go unsolved? Just have opener after opener of crimes, but never follow up on them. Interrupt dialog and other scenes to have another opener that goes nowhere. Show cops that don't know the law, show white-collar crime being ignored, but above all, make it funny. Make it something people want to see.
Difference is, cowboys didn’t exactly have the power to do state sanctioned murder on everyone involved in Blazing Saddles before it was released.

“This is punitive as opposed to protective. It sets a precedent for other businesses to identify their critics and punish them,” Mr. Schwartz said. “It raises the question of what’s going to come next. Will companies use facial recognition to keep out all the people who have picketed the business or criticized them online with a negative Yelp review?”
Obviously yes. The property manager for my apartment made me sign a lease that said I wouldn't leave them bad reviews online. This is illegal, sure, and I'm told that clause is not actionable, but they'd be salivating for something like this.
Coming up next: regional blackouts specific to your line of sight.
Somebody tweet this to Billy Joel and see if he'll VIP-list her at his next MSG show.
I'm not suggesting this because he's a champion of justice or anything, but because he probably has a lot of clout with the venue right now and he generally seems to enjoy mischief.
I'll ask the fellas in Phish to get her and the whole girl scout troop on the floor for new years!
Hit up your local enby for surveillance disrupting make up tip :cat-trans:
Actually i'm p sure the go-to source for surveillance disrupting makeup would be your local juggalo
Juggalos will become the vanguard of the revolution

At least until we can start radicalizing members of Mudvayne and Slipknot.
Common Knicks L, unfortunately
Dolan continues to be the worst owner in the NBA.
Another good reason to keep wearing masks it would seem. Fuckin ridiculous but hits all the right notes of a bleak and shitty technofash future we've created
one step closer to techno-feudalism, make sure to choose your corporate owner wisely.
