Cobb Commissioners approve the Police Dept’s use of facial recognition technology to fight crime​

 
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


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.

Facial Recognition Used to Deny Entry to Bldg Owner's 'Enemies'​

People who had tickets to events were told they could not enter because they were lawyers whose firms had sued the owner's company.

Facial recognition is an invasive and dangerous surveillance technology. When the government moves forward with pilot programs that will, if fully implemented, subject millions of people on a daily basis to the technology that should give us all pause. Currently the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is running two different pilots that use of facial recognition technology to confirm travelers’ identity. As explained below, this is a mistake—not only because of the ongoing privacy and bias issues but because of the long term implications of using our face as our ID. That is why EPIC has previously urged Congress to suspend TSA’s use of facial recognition technology and supports the call by several Senators earlier this year for TSA to halt the technology’s use.
...
... TSA should not be implementing the use of facial recognition. Unfortunately, despite the potential privacy and bias risks, TSA’s Biometric Roadmap makes clear that TSA has every intention of implementing the use of facial recognition at airports across the country. This is a problem because any current claims by TSA about how they are protecting privacy and the voluntariness of the program ring hollow in light of the fact that there are no meaningful restrictions on how TSA implements the use of facial recognition technology. This is because the United States lacks an overarching law to regulate the use of facial recognition to ensure the necessary transparency, accountability, and oversight to protect our privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights.

... what Clearview did was not a technological breakthrough, it was an ethical one. They were just willing to do what others hadn’t been willing to do.

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.
