It implies no such thing. There is no blame because this is a contrived hypothetical that makes a number of ridiculous assumptions. 1. That someone going to a gay club in NYC later decides to go to Saudi Arabia, knowing full well that the government there is actively hostile to them. 2. That the government of Saudi Arabia somehow has access to facial recognition data from the NYPD. 3. This data for some reason includes not only mugshots directly collected by the NYPD (which was what TFA was actually about) but also private survellience footage from gay clubs, and this footage is clear enough to make a match (remember people tend to go to clubs at night) 4. The government of Saudi Arabia decides that they need to expend a tremendous amount of computing resources to run facial recognition of all of their survellience footage of every face in their country against this fictional database that they somehow obtained. 5. Further they conclude that a single facial recognition match, which is known the flawed, of a person in the vicinity of a gay club is sufficient to convict someone. There are real privacy concerns yes, but this is absurdist fearmongering and deserves to be ridiculed.
