FR, and other technology that collects data, greatly concerns me.

I know my iPhone FaceID can’t but iris recognition was accomplished at distances of 40’ in 2015. Misused, it is disheartening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The technology reminds me of the movie Minority Report as Tom Cruise walks the advertisements read his eyes and specifically pitch ads to him. I don’t like it at all.

That is an optimum scenario for marketers, and very likely to realized in the next decade.

I recently read an article about how computers are programmed to identify certain characteristics of an object to determine if it’s a human. If the object is deemed a human, the computer records the face. If the characteristics of the object being analyzed don’t meet the parameters of a human, the computer ignores it. It’s the reason a computer would not try to match a bicycle to a face when using facial recognition technology.
Anyway, it was actually very easy to trick the computer into thinking you were not a human by wearing patterned clothing that was so unconventional that the computer wouldn’t recognize it as human. The article was something like “ugly clothes make you invisible”. |

This was the theme of the TV series "Person of Interest," which I liked a lot.

It's too late.
In 1943 the population of this planet was around 2 Billion. Today it's getting on for 8 billion. The 'controllers' want to extend their control, there's too much money to be made. A television or radio in every home, was the start of electronic control of the masses. It's too late... You can't stop what's coming. |

This technology makes me very nervous as well, from a law enforcement perspective. Anything that can be justified to catch a couple of bad guys can be completely abused and selectively applied in the wrong hands. It's vastly more powerful in swaying large numbers of people than any conventional weaponry. It also peeves me that there are whole unregulated private markets where this type of information is traded without the consent of the individuals.

Here's thinking you have ignored almost everything else that actually surrounds this issue and other actions that actually transpired.
