Who cares if it's easy or not? Consumer/passerby protection rules are not going to stop you, a person with nothing to lose. This is about the use of such technology in a commercial setting.
It's a bit like my pirate radio station. I have it, I broadcast to a very limited distance, whatever, I don't really worry about the white vans. If I put a 400 kW TV transmitter on top of a mountain, that's a very different story.
- kefka 11y agoLets take the same analogy... So, if I buy/build a 1GP camera array, and drive it around the city, capturing all the data, "that's a very different story"? Your example is in violation of the FCC. Mine violates nothing.
- forgottenpass 11y agoYour example is in violation of the FCC. Mine violates nothing. Well, yeah, that was kinda the idea. My point is that it doesn't matter what is technically possible if consumer protection rules were to come into place. The regulatory environment would curtail the largest (ab)uses of the technology as entities that would use the technology wouldn't want to take the risk. edit: So, under hypothetical regulation on facial recognition, a watchdog agency isn't going to know/care about your driveway camera, but your business based on using that 1GP array to sell person tracking and demographic data would raise some eyebrows. Was your point about the ease of implementation an expression that you'd do it anyway if the regulations came into place? Put your business on the line because you personally know how to implement it?
