Probably got demonizatized because you said "George floyd"

Now let's be honest, it's not conspiratorial to believe that big online companies might be on board with facial recognition on a large scale. Think of the money they would get from that kind of targeted advertising and surveillance.

and why is it demonitized?

You're correct.

Yes, it's supposed to be a literal contact list, or address book except better. Facebooks were meant to be address books with what you looked like for ivy league universities and fraternities to find each other. Says a lot about the vanity and racial assurance people want in these environments too. It was basically a doxxbook.

Then they just have to forbid wearing masks in public. Which was already kind of the case in France during the Yellow Vest protests, you could be arrested if you were anywhere near a protest and had any kind of face cover on you or in your backpack.

Fluffynator it’s a bit 1984 which is what has people concern. Let’s say 10 years from now the US makes going to church mandatory. Let’s also say you are not religious and would rather not go. Well now that they know everywhere you go they know you weren’t at church and can send a fine your way or some kind of re-education police. The issue with mass surveillance isn’t the actual surveillance but the abuse of power that it can and will lead to.

Fluffynator the issue is that companies could use this kind of info to easily deny you coverage for insurance, or reject loans on information you don’t know they have. They would have power over nearly every facet of your life. Everything is already controlled in a similar way. But it will be far worse and so deep seated it can never be gotten out.

They can make that illegal and there you go.

They’d be able to work you out. You’d end up going to your place of work at a certain time, and they’d be able to correlate that with your roster. Or they’d count the hours and run it against your pay check. They’d filter by little irregularities like having a morning off here or there for a kids award presentation at school assembly, or the visiting a GP. If not those things, then you don’t have an infinite number of shoes, or clothes. They’d match that somehow. Even if you buy generic clothes, they’d be able to build a database on your walk style, so you’d be given a unique entry there. Breach any one of these things with a positive ID of you, and they could backdate the whole lot of data, and add it to your profile. Despite everything said in this video, I’m not worried by the advent and proliferation of such technology. I don’t go to protests. I’m not involved in any political party planning/meetings/policy making/etc. I’m reasonably happy with how things are in the country right now, and I’m not concerned by “big brother” reading my comments on forums like this.

I doubt Africa is safe. I'm Kenyan, and about a year ago, our government suddenly enforced all the people within the country to have their fingerprints and photo taken. The reason given was that it would allow for faster access to government services but I am certain that more was going on, especially with how urgent the government made this whole situation become. If you didn't know, China has a very large presence in Africa and helps develop infrastructure for many nations, Kenya included. This has led to a debt to China in many countries. I like to think that maybe somewhere in that negotiation, personal data of all citizens was given to the CCP to either enhance facial recognition systems or even build a database as China gets hold of more and more power over African nations. This is just a theory though, but I don't think it is unreasonable.

Simon Kimberly warrants get used illegally all the time and there are an insane amount of loopholes to where you don’t even need one for the majority of cases.

Like traeng said, we need governments that we can trust and the US definitely does not have a government that they can, or do, trust.

I got this recommended to me.

No government would do that, faking a sharp rise in crime isn’t good for a countries appearance and it would risk the public turning against the government. That would never happen, no matter how evil said government was.

@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 Kinda odd to see you reply in the exact same fashion on two comments in a row, (almost) suspicious, but I will say that this make it possible to frame people for crimes. If not the government, different interest groups can try to trick the algorithm to think somebody did something they actually didn't. It's not just your own selfies, if a selfie from somebody's phone shows you being supposedly somewhere you actually weren't, that'd be a great way to frame for a crime. That doesn't even start with cameras being on cars, on tvs/electronics, on every building, and even on unmanned police drones (a $500 drone would be cheaper than a police car for trying to bust people for petty crimes).

I can see framing activists for crimes and imprisoning them. Seems like something they'd do.

No……i wish i have the money and time to travel to other countries……

Even TikTok is, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Don't see why it wouldn't be legal. The target is in a public space, so their picture can be taken. If they've also put their pictures on Fakebook then those are also public. So the app only uses information that has been made public by the target. In some countries however (like Germany) it is illegal to take a photograph of someone's face in public without their permission, so problem solved - one of the pieces of data used by the algorithm is restricted by law and the app is then illegal.

@@ixian_technocrat really? Invasion of privacy in a public space is fine? We should have a right to privacy and anonymity when we're in public, big brother in hands of creeps isn't better than in the hands of the government.

Not actually true, just people see it happening sometimes and treat it like proof. Seriously, about 1/1000 ads will be about something you’ve talked about very recently, which is the amount some people will go through in a month. Therefore they experience this once a month.

You can almost certainly find your address, the people related to you, your neighbors, your phone number and email, and then accounts associated with the phone, email or username, AND PHOTOS from the accounts So if you used the same username on three social media accounts then they'll have all those accounts linked. If your passwords are revealed in a hack then they can also search your usernames in the released files and potentially access your account or accounts, send sensitive files to loved ones, hurt your loved ones with info or insults, offend your boss, get you fired... Even if they don't hack you, if you piss someone off, they can look up your username from KZfaq or whatever and potentially find you on other sites and see the people you're connected to. If the people you're connected to don't take privacy seriously then the stalker can get info from their accounts as well. Like if someone you cut off while driving has a dash cam and gets a pic of your face they can eventually find out where you live and who your loved ones are, and contact all your neighbors and associates listed on whatever site they go to, etc. Or if you go to a bar and someone thinks you're cute...

Reduce the funding for the military and add to education and healthcare (try to make it free or at least cheaper). I would increase the funding for NASA and would try to further add insentive to space research. Furthermore, I would like to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and focus on environmental health.

@@justin.a9494 that's quite wise. You'd be remove from power (or from this world) after a few months.

@@josecipriano3048 why is that? I think I would make some great (and very needed) changes

​@@justin.a9494 probably because environmental health would get you a lot of backlash from corporations that produce pollution, especially oil. Nationalizing healthcare will probably get you backlash from corporations trying to profit off of healthcare and drugs. Reducing funding from the military gets you backlash from the companies that produce things for the military. So all in all, assuming that all of the above can and will try to stop you (which I won't try to pretend to know how they'd react), you'd be up against a lot of people willing to do just about anything for an extra buck. It is to note that in the days of Carnegie, Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan (early 1900's), their corporations were impossibly massive; Rockefeller, for instance, was worth $400 billion in adjusted dollars. All the above, pretty much about the richest men in the world, met together and pitched in $20 million in un-adjusted dollars to buy the president (McKinley) because the opposing political candidate was talking about dissolving "monopolies" due to their massive evil; as far as I know, Car/Rock, idk about Morgan, horribly mis-treated workers to borderline unlivable conditions. However, some Anarchist guy (I think from Poland) assassinated McKinley. Now, this put them in massive trouble. His VP, Theodore Roosevelt, also hated monopolies and wanted to abolish them via legislation. They had made him V.P. to try to control him, but now he was president. As president, he became the "trust buster" and broke up their corporations, as far I as know. Basically, their companies had to be controlled by multiple different people, reducing coordinated corruption to a degree. As a lesson from this, I saw that the above 3 people were willing to do a lot to make money, but weren't willing to try to undermine our democracy and unseat Roosevelt. However, after the Impeachment of Trump, it seems clear that many politicians and wealthy of today are willing to undermine the law in order to serve their own ends.
