This not a trial, in terms of what a real trial should be.
It is a deliberate wedge strategy that has been employed at least once in the UK before. (I couldn’t find a source right now, will report back when I can.)
The goal is to be able to say to higher powers that «we reached out to the public and they didn’t mind.»
And then it’s made permanent.
- all2 8y agoI smell a market for facial prosthetics (good ones) and sunglasses. Maybe large hats.
- philpem 8y agoHow about the old classic -- a Groucho Marx moustache and a pair of glasses? ;) Or maybe a Theresa May paper mask...

- beginningguava 8y agoThey'll simply pass a law making disguises/obfuscation illegal in public. Because why would anybody who's not a criminal or up to no good have any issue with the tracking, right?
- daneyh 8y agoI'm sure that will sit well with Londons large orthodox muslim community.
- MiddleEndian 8y agoPlastic surgery will likely remain legal. I could see a future where people avoid recognition by simply changing their features like a custom video game character.

- MiddleEndian 8y agoIf the tech reaches the point where you can do it at home, that won't matter.
- jakeogh 8y agoYou can trivially build banned (some places;) inanimate objects at home, but that does not stop legislators from making those that do criminals. You didnt update FaceRegistry? That's a felony, and another felony for modding your 3d faceprinter to break the FR DRM.

Nor was it passed under national security hysteria. It was passed very recently, to arrest guy fawke's mask wearers at the Anonymous Million Mask March.
- drpgq 8y agoAs someone in the field, I recommend sunglasses and those filter masks common in Asia.
