Those things genuinely creep me out and make me want to start wearing a mask in public again.
I wore a mask to the hardware store today. My kid wore a mask too and I pointed out the sign on the door that notified us that the store uses cameras and facial recognition. We were the only ones and we felt a bit self conscious, but if that’s what we have to do to retain anonymity/privacy then that’s sadly the world we live in now.
It'll never work. There are more cameras then you realize and more then you can hide from. Even driving down the freeway you can be photographed and identified from your car.
And there are algorithms that can ID individuals from their gait
It’ll sometimes work. We’re just trying to make it harder for them.
