Here's a thought for those still on the run:

If you think facial recognition technology is scary today think about 10 years from now. You're gonna get caught.

facial recognition tech is terrifying. Great that its to round up these scumbags but it IS going to be rampantly misused.

Just because we like who it is being used to round up now does not mean we cant recognize the absolute shitshow that is coming our way between deepfakes and facial recognition mixed with big data.

I walked into Kroger yesterday and noticed the security feed of the entrance on the overhead monitor. There was me with my grocery cart and a green square hovering over my face, tracking with my movements. Don't know if the feed was being processed through a facial recognition database, but it totally could be, right? It kind of creeped me out. My first thought was, "I hope my twin sister hasn't committed any felonies I don't know about!"

I just recently bought a house and had to scan my face into the IRS database. I was extremely hesitant to do it, but my family would be living on the street if I didn’t do it.

I read "bought a horse" at first and thought "why would your family live on the street without a horse?"

It's gotten so bad that people are buying horses just so they can stay in the stable with it

My iPhone and Apartment Complex already do it with a mask on. Also the AirPods had some scanning thing when you first connect to iOS 15 where it scans your head for the best possible directional sound (?!). This is today…
