You can also change incentives. If aggregating faces into a database makes you liable for the damage that happens when that database is used, the "Guatemalan farmer" (and any business that wants reasonably prices liability insurance) will go out of their way to avoid making that database.
- dzhiurgis 7y agoNo one is gonna go after couple of misdemeanours in a third world country.
- kevingadd 7y agoNobody is going to buy their Clearview or Palantir grade military/police tech from a third-world farmer, either.
- saagarjha 7y ago> a third-world farmer I think this is a fairly uncharitable view of software engineering in these countries. Many countries by surveillance technology from others.
- kevingadd 7y agoThe grand-parent post specifically mentioned a "guatemalan farmer", so my point was that people typically buy surveillance technology from bigger players instead of from small-time hobbyists and sole proprietors. There's nothing wrong with the software engineering in other countries.
