> Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference if, in response, surveillance systems switch to identifying people by smartphone MAC addresses. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.
It sounds like the ban needs to be broader, and extend to ban any technology used to automatically identify individuals without their consent using surveillance sensors.
- OrgNet 7y agoyes, license plate readers, wifi/bluetooth scanners/loggers, TPMS loggers, facial recognition, etc... all fall in the same category.
- prophesi 7y agoYeah. Facial recognition by itself is fine, but let them be in hot water if they use it for identifying others. It's similar to how GDPR and similar laws operate. Collecting the data is fine, but you'll get in trouble if you process & distribute that data without clearly notifying your users.
- tjoff 7y agoWho else are they going to identify, themselves?
- prophesi 7y agoI don't know what you're trying to say. We're talking about corporate/state surveillance and privacy violations here.
- ReverseCold 7y agoMaybe they're talking about something like Face ID on an iPhone? You can use it to identify yourself.
