They can already identify people wearing masks [0]: > a normal face mask doesn’t help you ‘evade’ facial recognition [0] https://privacyinternational.org/news

  > They can already identify people wearing masks There were stories in Germany reporting that if you wore a face mask when driving, you must not also be wearing sunglasses and/or a hat ... because the driver's face must be recognisable if you're caught by a speed camera.

  Hm interesting, so I guess like all things in security/privacy it boils down to an economic war :-/ How much effort are you willing to put into masks vs. how much effort an adversary is willing to spend to defeat it. It says that there is no single face mask that can defeat every system. That's an interesting point, but what about the converse? There's probably no single recognition system that can defeat every mask. edit: I also think it's not that unacceptable to wear a mask and sunglasses anymore either, though I've never tried. Maybe you have an eye issue and don't want to get COVID :)

  A fair number of systems are still foiled by masks, as long as the mask covers the entire lower face and is black.
