Badlands and Toad Hall announced over the weekend that use of the controvresial technology would end for now.
Why the fuck would a gay bar think face id tech would be a-okay with their customers?
Those bars should be boycotted permanently. Drive them out of business. Refuse any new bar that opens in that spot too. Make it clear that shit won’t be tolerated.
This is it. This is the stupidest thing I heard all week. And, we all know what a week it’s been.
Something-something about the exhange of liberty for security…ick.
They already have facial ID at these bars, in the streets, everywhere. It’s the AI assisted part that is in question here.
But I agree, not just at gay bars we shouldn’t have facial recognition unless under very strict rules preventing surveillance of anyone that there is no warrant to surveil as such. Judicial warrant, I guess I have to say that now because they started calling police requests as administrative warrants to trick people and muddy the waters.
Just like they did with calling less lethal ammunition less than lethal. Or with changing a grand jury from a safeguard from unjust prosecution into a tool of persecution.
Yes, not just gay bars, but especially gay bars, of all places.
