The difference is scale. With ML Face recognition we can identify people in real time, without some safeguards we very rapidly reach a point where we can track anyone anywhere.
Imagine if every camera in the city of London could identify you, forget metadata we will be able to actively track individuals taking public transit across a city and identify every individual who the interact with.
- bko 7y agoYes I agree, I just think that you can build a system to keep a token person in the loop that will drive the cost down regardless. It's similar to how regulators tried to ban "computerized trading" and traders literally built a machine hand that presses the enter key. Making the cost artificially high by banning a particular type of technology is not addressing the real problem of civil liberties.

- zelon88 7y agoWasn't that the point? You can't seriously expect to build a system like big brother and be so naive as to think this wouldn't be result sooner or later.
