What is the better alternative?
- Lammy 6y agoI don’t think a totally binary “alternative” is a viable thing in these situations. In the short term, people should assume their face is capable of being identified and tracked in real time and act accordingly. For some people that would certainly amount to self-censorship of choosing to avoid certain places/events/activism. Other people would probably be drawn to create some sort of new generation of “CV Dazzle”-like fashions/cosmetics. In the far long term maybe people will be able to generate or design a brand new face for themselves on demand. Facial recognition is only so scary when the thing it recognizes is effectively a permanent identification card that must be worn at all times (pandemic times notwithstanding lol)
