Yes I think so. Some technologies are inherently no good, lacking
any obvious positive use cases, but enabling obvious abuse. It is a
mistake to shift the blame to "policy" or malevolent actors and claim
the technology is merely a neutral enabler. No. The technology itself
contains a gamut of evils.
- partdavid 4y agoIf you had to identify the eventgoer in advance for a non-transferable ticket, then she would have been banned for the same reason and no facial recognition would have been involved. Would that be okay, in some way this is not?
- nonrandomstring 4y agoAre you asking me personally? Or to respond with a general philosophical principle? In either case no. On the first count, no, because I don't believe in "non-transferable" tickets for arts and entertainments. The holder has every right to give or sell their purchased property to family or friends and "non-transferable" instruments violate that first-sale right. On the second point, no, because the singular specific "okay" case (even the tear-jerking one that saves poor fluffy dying from kitten cancer) has no bearing on the profound but nebulous harms inflicted on society by an essentially rotten technology (on a purely Utilitarian principle)
