I don't see your point. It's an ethical discussion. Is the goal is to maximize your personal convenience or is the goal is to maximize ethics, while still allowing your extreme convenience?
> As a sibling comment notes, this is how general store customer interactions used to be done. The "facial recognition" system in question was the store owner themselves.
I disagree with the statement in general, but rather than dissecting it, I'll point out that the issue is "spying", not the particular action of recognizing your face.
- shadowgovt 7y ago> It's an ethical discussion Positioning "maximize your personal convenience" vs "maximize ethics" begs the question of whether the two are opposed. I don't think they are because I don't think it's unethical for a company to use facial recognition (as the OP seems to assume).
