If that's the case, then why bring race into it? The racial aspects of the argument infers that such law would only be put in place, in spirit, to protect the privacy of minorities, and not anyone else.
- fnimick 3y agoI'm not the one who brought race into it, I'm pointing out that it should be banned for everyone. Nobody here is saying "we should ban facial recognition only on minorities", they are pointing out that it can and is likely to be abused specifically to further existing racial inequality.

- fnimick 3y agoI'm not sure "enabling easier abuse of power will likely have bad consequences for populations of people who are already targeted for abuse by people in power" is moving the goalposts.
- bequanna 3y agoShoehorning racism into every argument has the opposite effect of what you are expecting. Rather than some call to action, people either roll their eyes or tune it out because of overuse. Continued tyranny over the poor by the powerful is the real injustice in this story, not racism.
