I wonder what would happen to these if you put a bunch of TV screens showing random faces at various camera locations. Essentially creating 10s of thousands of face scans per minute at each location until their database fills up and their facial recognition runs out of CPU cycles. Also maybe throw in some randomized license plate numbers and a TPMS transmitter to make it even worse. Nothing illegal, just putting some noise out there.
- tptacek 10mo agoFlock doesn't do facial recognition.
- therobots927 10mo agoEven if you’re technically correct, that doesn’t mean they never will, or that downstream consumers of their data never will. They’re easy enough to hack and I’m sure it would be trivial for the NSA to siphon off the raw feed in real time if they wanted to and send it to a datacenter in Utah.
- tptacek 10mo agoI was answering the parent commenter's question about what would happen if you confronted a Flock camera with a lot of faces. Answer: nothing.
- foxyv 10mo agoOh, yeah, looks like they only do general description on pedestrians. Stuff like orange sweater and black pants.
