To be clear, the system picked out faces in the crowd, in the “yes, this is a face” sense. They were labeled in what appears to be random terms like positive, kind, nostalgic, bee keeper, gif animator, extreme ironer. No personal identification.
Yeah this article is hot garbage. What “biometric data” are they talking about??? Just images of people’s faces? My understanding is that it’s super commonplace in public locations, are people really that surprised?
Yes, while its generally common on this platform, we are early adopters for tech so we understand it first. The general public gets exposure much slower, especially when there is efforts to subvert it for profit.
Attention and time are limited, those that focus on tech know things first. Its the same as a chef knowing about food more than the average person.

Still, why the fuck does that exist, and why is it allowed? It shouldn’t be there.
Yeah
No shit
That was the point
I believe this would be illegal in Illinois, which regulates biometric data collection
I think that was there point… to call out the use of facial recognition
Oh that’s very interesting. I didn’t get that nuance from the article. Do you have a link to more info?
Yes, it’s the link to the Youtube clip in the embed in the article.
Specifically, this link, which looked like a twitter link to me.
