I hate that with time there is just going to be more and more covert non-consentual facial recognition everywhere. It should be outlawed, but obviously that does not align with the interests of the powerful so it'll never happen.

there's a lot of roads all leading to the same place, there needs to be a constitutional amendment about the right to own your own data, and if someone collects it from you they need to pay you to collect it, and you should receive a tax on any transaction where its sold

at least that's my suggestion

if people collected my information and sent me a check in the mail every month for a decent amount, i might not be so annoyed.

I'm looking forward to a growing culture of mask wearing in public spaces.

It worked in Venice, and what a fine method of self expression!

Just smash it if you see it. Or someone suggested super glue. If we all actively destroy these devices, it'll eventually not be worth it to replace them.

Except they would have you on camera vandalizing the machine.
