Wait, like match = definitive OK? Or no match = definitive OK? Or no match = definitive not OK? I ask because the details are quite bedeviled.

The first is relatively benign, since it would be a “greedy” OK-list that errs on the side of leaving people alone and otherwise, in a no-match case, requires using traditional methods for identity verification. That kind of app would be the equivalent of Global Entry or TSA Pre-check, an efficiency measure to wave familiar faces through.

The second is worse because it acts as an overconfident not-OK-list that usually errs on the side of leaving people alone but doesn’t account for false positives.

The third is what the headline implies. It’s an OK-list that aggressively errs on the side of “not OK.” The only reason to make an app like that is computer says no.

Regardless, fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.

If we feed in enough images of trump from videos, bet one will say he's not a citizen.

This'll be used as a scapegoat when the trials begin.

If the Israelis have rolled it out in Palestine then it’s coming to a theater near you! See: The Palestinian Laboratory. The Palestinian Laboratory. .

Amazing. An app decides if a human being goes to the camps. What a time to be alive.

of course the app creators intended it to be used like that. anyone in that field knew exactly where things were likely to head because they always head that way. if you hadn't paid attention to that type of surveillance technology that you might not know but these people definitely did. They wanted it, they got it, and now they're pretending to be embarrassed.

Corporate data superseding government data. Can't image how this could possible end badly. /s

They can't get biometric data from a face though.

Unless they have 3D scanning cameras baked in, there is no way for the camera to know the real depth of the face features.

This sounds like they're just scanning faces against a set of identified easy targets. If they get a match of an easy target they kidnap that person.

The app just determines skin color and goes from there.

I can't believe nobody has noticed this in their rage boner, but this is double hearsay. Some dude said that he was told by other dude that this is going on.

I'm all for people fearing and even hating ICE, but this one smells funky.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I mean... to be fair, a lot of news stories are just heresay witness testimony.
