What if a private organization set up cameras observing everyone walking every street and avenue, and stored facial eigenvectors of all the people walking there.
It could then set up shop as a service, and given a picture of someone's face, tell you when and where they went anywhere on foot in NYC.
It's all public, right?
- wongarsu 3y agoThat's what companies do with license plate scanners. I don't think faces would be substantially different in the eyes of the law. I agree that it's an issue. In Europe there is some expectation of privacy even in public and what you describe would be illegal.

- roywiggins 3y agoIt's being done for police, but I don't think there's any legal bar to selling this data to the public instead. https://www.404media.co/fusus-ai-cameras-took-over-town-america/ https://www.404media.co/fusus-ai-cameras-took-over-town-amer...

- ddingus 3y agoYou can find that in London right now.
