Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.
It’s not false. I previously worked for a facial recognition company. Every single facial recognition system uses a photo (or series of photos) to extract the mathematical representation of a face. But literally every single system uses a different algorithm. Once they make the extraction, that data is 100% useless to anyone other than that vendor/system.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter, because the source photo is what’s more valuable, since that can be used by any system to generate a face model of an individual and it can be read/seen/interpreted by people also.
it also assumes that we have uploaded pictures of ours to the internet.
Hence why I said “Ifyou’ve ever uploaded a photo of yourself”.
that won’t make it known where will I be at any later point in time.
it is false. it is not uploading a photo of yourself that makes this a bad thing. its not only bad because it recognized be on a facebook photo. the major part that makes it bad that these systems are recording, and uploading data god knows where, no matter the format, with total unaccountability to the average person.

I’m sorry, what??
by uploading a photo, nobody will know what will happen to me in my life in the future. these camera systems are the things that do that.

You still don’t seem to understand. I’ll try to explain it more simply:
If you’ve uploaded a photo of yourself with PII data (eg. your name), then that information can be scraped and used by ethically void companies (most of them) to build a database with your information on it. All without your knowledge or consent.
the major part that makes it bad that these systems are recording, and uploading data
Irrelevant to the point I was making, and it doesn’t falsify or contradict anything I’ve said.

that’s not what I debate, sorry. if you look at it that way, we all might have lost that battle, without exceptions, because of gov ID photos.
my point is that the battle is not lost by facial recognition companies getting your photo, but when your area uses cameras related to a facial recognition company, and your community cannot get rid of them.
