sure it is! you don't need to keep a centralized photo db of every person who enters your country all in one place, even to build ML models on. This could have been federated in a variety of ways that would've reduced a breach risk.
Or, we could avoid building a massive surveillance network that doesn't help make our world better.
- anigbrowl 7y agoI'm not arguing for centrality, but how do you see this actually working? People submit photographs when they make visa applications, so how are you going to store that?
- DennisP 7y agoThese were not photos submitted with visa applications. > The compromised photos were taken of travelers in vehicles coming in and out of the US through specific lanes at a single Port of Entry over a one and a half months period. The article also mentions this was part of a new program to use facial recognition on everyone entering the country. We've never had that capability before, so I see this working like it always has. Regarding the visa photos, it depends on what they're used for. In general I'd prefer avoiding ongoing surveillance as much as possible, which reduces the need to keep digital photos preserved in accessible places.
