To opt out, just don't have a face

@pluralistic I think this is the real reason they don't want people to wear masks to prevent the spread of covid.

'Police Live Facial Recognition'

Is it limited to recognizing the faces of police?

If Badge_Detected == 'Y'
Then
Maximize_Privacy_Invasion(Object)
Else
Delete_image(Object)
End

Then it might work.

@pluralistic I recommend two, readily available, though perhaps not inexpensive, commercial items in response. A drone and a can of spray foam insulation.

This is where I'm supposed to add that this is a joke. I am explicitly not adding that.

Carrying a donut might confuse the AI version of this code into false positives.

@pluralistic Imagine everyone would wear a mask... oh wait! That's against my rights .. oh wait! They're scanning my face without my consent ... oh wait! I should wear a mask! Oh wait! I was protesting against that! ...

POLICE LIVE FACIAL RECOGNITION IN OPERATION

There is no legal requirement for you to be in the public space. If you are, you automatically consent.

I wonder if these dudes would appreciate their faces being recognized?

I walked past one of these once and I'm pretty sure by the time I saw the sign I was already passing "through the LFR area", so yeah.

How long before they ditch the signs and start using cameras that look just like all the other cameras which are everywhere? Six months? Ten years?

@pluralistic There's a certain irony to them looking upset that you're taking pictures of their faces.

@pluralistic Time to invest in a range of good quality prosthetic facial features...

@SeanPLynch @pluralistic For now at least AI is really bad with beards. All the ones I've run into are anyway. Beards of any length--now that I've cut mine down some I don't have the same problems so they've improved or it's the length.

My bet is it still thinks it's the back of your head and weighs that too heavily.

That and eyes. It's always asking me to open my eyes wider.

So grow a beard and walk around with your eyes shut.

@pluralistic Stupidly enough I'd say someone wearing Zentai or a "morphsuit" could pull that off if not for their whole anti-masking bullshit.

Orwellian nightmare.

[minentromaxinfo@defcon.social]

@pluralistic It would be a shame a hose got turned on and accidently sprayed down all this fancy gear, and these two muppets.

@pluralistic Or, be dead. Or, following research by @timnitGebru and others: be female or a racial minority. Then you will be seen as a wildcard and matched with other females and minorities at random. They decided to do the Spartacus movie scene for you.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr Probably another reason why the UK wanted to leave the EU. To be allowed to use facial recognition.
