facial recognition technologies and fingerprinting are not normal and please, don't try to normalize them. biometric surveillance technologies (such as facial recognition) in public places should be limited, but also other form of biometric data — such as of faces but also of gait, fingerprints, DNA, voice, keystrokes and other biometric or behavioural signals.
When monitored, we change behaviour and self-censor.
When categorised, we are judged and discriminated against.
It's a vicious circle of power imbalances.
This is NOT normal.
- blunte 5y agoIt is normal because it can be captured easily and silently. This is not like some device which you walk by which scratches you and steals your DNA. This is you being who you are, open for all to see, and being seen by people and cameras. Here on HN we already know that when shopping in the US (and probably other countries) we are being monitored and facially tracked. The only power imbalance is the power we give to people to use this information. You can theoretically vote against people who would use this information. Stop shopping in those places, stop walking in areas with known cameras, or wear an AI defeating mask. But this is the world we live in. You already leave far more information in your internet use than you probably do by walking around town unless you are hyper vigilant.
