Shoot. I understand that a simple “no” the rest of the year isn’t interesting, but during Christmas time? The flags, the developer console chat room... there’s even a dedicated API for the flags. Oh well. Side note: I “deleted” this post be

Governments shouldn’t use facial recognition. Period.

by surround 7y ago
The point I was trying to make is that any facial recognition - racial biased or not - is an issue.

by surround 7y ago
Correct. I should’ve said “larger” issues.

by surround 7y ago

The cameras should be hard wired or at least hosted locally. Allowing open connection to the internet is a serious security issue.

Safari “opts out” of (blocks) tracking by default iirc. But users have to explicitly choose to opt out of iOS tracking. Most people don’t even know about the tracking ID. Edit: Apple ought to prioritize the privacy of users over “keeping ad
