  • Im not stuck on anything. Im simply pointing put the fundamental flaw in your understanding. Your just too dense to grasp it.

    Bribery of governmental officials is also illegal, and yet an entire industry exists around it.

    The video cameras in stores literally contradict your position that its illegal and yet you hold on to the premise.

    The fact facebook just added two lines to their ToS and suddenly their ‘illegal’ behavior was changed to legal demonstrates just how fucking dense you are.

    Your issue is you havent yet demonstrated any instances of these laws being upheld in any meaningful manner.

    And yet with using grocery stores as a simple example ive entirely dissembled your entire position.

    So yes you found a law in a single state, that is entirely ineffectual, doesnt apply to the TSA, and has a ‘this law does not apply’ workaround bigger than the fucking sun for everyone else.

    Good job champ, let me introduce you to your need special needs counselor, I’ll leave the rest of your education to them.


  • 😂 you’re just clueless. Literally every store with security cameras puts up a sign on the entrance doors that allows this behavior and there is plenty of case law that supports this. Your wonderful facebook case is a laughably retarded example. Its not even remotely applicable to this conversation.

    • its a state law which has 0 impact anywhere except Illinois.
    • its not applicable to the tsa or any state/federal agency (aka public entities) which are explicitly excluded from that law.
    • nor did it in anyway prevent Facebook from continuing the practice. They just needed to put up a clear and visible notice of the functionality as I explained with the security cameras.
    • nor did it have anything to do with individuals in public spaces.
    • finally it was settled for a pittance, probably less than the court case would have cost facebook just in lawyer and engineering labor it would have had ro dedicate to the discovery phase.

    Im sorry but reality doesnt jive with your reading of laws. Feel free to get laughed out of court attempting to prove me wrong. Its almost like you just googled ‘facial recognition lawsuits’, grabbed the first case that seemed remotely related to this fantasy in your head and ran with with it.

    Until you win that magical court case that doesnt exist, stop wasting mine and everyone else’s time with your drivel.

    Tl;dr: to all the genocidal apologists and enablers - you are the crazy fucking extremists.

    That part is probably a coincidence. It was pretty clear last election democrats have entirely lost the thread to the point they’re basically just as dangerous as gwb was in the early 2000s.

    A year of watching the entire party defend the actions, support a genocidal regime followed by the complete suppression of Palestinian members from the platform, suppression of student activists. Followed by completely ignoring the economic issues of the middle class was basically their version of taking the mask off and hollowed out what little remaining support they had from people like myself. Nothing made me happier than watching them lose an election the thought they could phone in because trump was running again. Not particularly happy with the result but happy they face planted.

    No point in wasting time on them anymore.





    1. Jfc you literally claim they do t have a db of your face and then list a bunch of government entities rhat have… A db of your face. Jfc.
    2. Feel free to go to a park and take all the photos of peoples faces you want. Its not illegal.

    You of course can continue to bury your head in the sand on this it wont change reality. The terms are what they are and no amount of crying by you will change this.

    And some of us took these issues seriously ages ago and there are not photos of us on social media linked to our (non-existent) social media accounts.

    If you wanted to take it seriously the time was a 2 decades ago.

    The key factor here is that the TSA is a government agency, they are not a private entity. None of the laws apply to them w/ respect to biometrics.

    Nor do they apply to private spaces you will fully enter. Trust me the lawyers took care of this in terms and conditions.


  • I can walk up to you in a public space and take your photo and you cant do shit about it as long as i don’t use it in specific ways. Its public data.

    Public data does not mean the data can be used in any manner. It means its available to anyone in the public space.

    There are literal court cases about this. Finally the government isnt a private entity, so none of your cases/law examples apply to this situation.

    Look up any case about someone being pissed their photo was used for a news piece or journalism or artwork.

    If you walk into a public space and that public space has cameras with facial recognition software, congratulations! Your face can and will be scanned!

    And nothing about that act violates the laws you referenced for the government or any other protected use, such as say journalism.


  • No the problem is you dont understand what is being said when ‘public data’ is being talked about.

    Data is public if you can freely access it, which I can access information about your face simply by being in the same public area as you. Hell you fucking posted it on Facebook probably for anyone to grab from anywhere.

    Your face isnt a privacy problem.

    1. your face is on your license, they already have a db of our faces.
    2. your name was on the ticket, they already know where you were.

    If you wanted to push back on your face as private data, the time to do that was many decades ago.

    But your major issue is you dont understand terms and definitions.

    Calling people nazis is just shorthand for fascist which allows people to understand the depths of the horrors these individuals will cause.

    It in no way devalues the suffering of Holocaust victims, its a warning.

    You dont fucking wait until they’re turning the gas valves to go ‘oh these people are fascists!’


  • what a completely useless statement. the problem is democrats have been abandoned by the population at large because of their lack of doing things that have a positive and material impact on the american middle class and if they dont fix this in the next few months they’ll likely never get a chance to and we’re all worse off for it.

    biden barely started to do it and then lost all the political capital he potentially had because he decided breaking a strike and supporting a genocide was more important than winning. and harris followed him off the cliff.


  • no we shit on them for actively lying about and preventing QOL improvements like healthcare, fixes to the power imbalance between labor and corps, etc. this is about 3 decades later than it should have been. and we’ve been talking about universal healthcare ~ a century at this point.

    at some point you need to accept they suck and are not doing what they should be and its literally killing people. you dont get a pat on the back just because some one else is killing people faster than you.

    you have democratic candidates running around blaming trans people for their loss last year, you have them actively supporting trump initiatives this year. while simultaneous spewing bullshit about how people are going to vote for them in the midterms because trump. Quick question: what if we dont? because they still suck, and are not offering us any reason to vote for them?

    lets perform a little critical thinking shall we?

    go find documented evidence of the majority of democratic candidates having policy positions in support for single payer and ran on them. or have any coherent policy changes at the party level that would actually fix the issues with health care / the destruction of the middle class due to corporate power imbalances.

    until you can answer those two questions you’re going to continue to see democrats lose ground to fascists.
