a little blurb about the wonderful company that got the contract above -- running in the same lanes as the fbi/cia social media websites

too, this little gem offers their AI generated data about you to private interests

Clearview AI - Wikipedia

In January 2020, Twitter sent a cease and desist letter and requested the deletion of all collected data.[6] This was followed by similar actions by YouTube (via Google) and Facebook in February.[7] Clearview sells access to its database to law enforcement agencies and has 3,100 active users[8] including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security according to The Wall Street Journal.[9][10][11][12][13] However, contrary to Clearview's claims that its service is sold only to law enforcement, a data breach in early 2020 revealed that numerous commercial organizations were on Clearview's customer list
 
The phone thumbprint scanners are a huge stepping stone.

It's always as a matter of security.

Thus people are made to feel insecure.

"Kill your TV" has very profound inner meaning beyond the obvious.

New Jersey Woman Reveals Dangers of Growing Use of Facial Recognition​

By: Mike Maharrey | Published on: Dec 26, 2022

When we warn about the growing pervasiveness of facial recognition systems, people often shrug and say, “it’s no big deal if you have nothing to hide.”

The experience of a New Jersey woman illustrates the dangerous flaw in that thinking.

Kelly Conlon went to New York City to enjoy the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall with her daughter’s Girl Scout troop. But Conlon was denied entry when facial recognition identified her.

Is Conlon a criminal or a dangerous terrorist?

No.

Rite Aid banned from using facial recognition software after falsely identifying shoplifters​

Rite Aid has been banned from using facial recognition software for five years, after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that the U.S. drugstore giant’s “reckless use of facial surveillance systems” left customers humiliated and put their “sensitive information at risk.”

The FTC’s Order, which is subject to approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court after Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October, also instructs Rite Aid to delete any images it collected as part of its facial recognition system rollout, as well as any products that were built from those images. The company must also implement a robust data security program to safeguard any personal data it collects.

Today's shoplifters and looters simply wear face diapers now that they have been normalized. Talk about unintended consequences. Prior to the scamdemic, it was against the law to wear a mask in public. At least in my state.
 

Cops Running DNA-Manufactured Faces Through Face Recognition is Tornado of Bad Ideas​

In keeping with law enforcement’s grand tradition of taking antiquated, invasive, and oppressive technologies, making them digital, and then calling it innovation, police in the U.S. recently combined two existing dystopian technologies in a brand new way to violate civil liberties. A police force in California recently employed the new practice of taking a DNA sample from a crime scene, running this through a service provided by US company Parabon NanoLabs that guesses what the perpetrators face looked like, and plugging this rendered image into face recognition software to build a suspect list.

Parts of this process aren't entirely new. On more than one occasion, police forces have been found to have fed images of celebrities into face recognition software to generate suspect lists. In one case from 2017, the New York Police Department decided its suspect looked like Woody Harrelson and ran the actor’s image through the software to generate hits. Further, software provided by US company Vigilant Solutions enables law enforcement to create “a proxy image from a sketch artist or artist rendering” to enhance images of potential suspects so that face recognition software can match these more accurately.
