“This is No Longer Fiction” – The Era of Automatic Facial Recognition and Surveillance Is Here

“This is No Longer Fiction” – The Era of Automatic Facial Recognition and Surveillance Is Here | Liberty Blitzkrieg: "ID checks were a common response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, but they’ll soon be obsolete. You won’t have to show your ID, because you’ll be identified automatically. A security camera will capture your face, and it’ll be matched with your name and a whole lot of other information besides. Welcome to the world of automatic facial recognition. Those who have access to databases of identified photos will have the power to identify us. Yes, it’ll enable some amazing personalized services; but it’ll also enable whole new levels of surveillance. The underlying technologies are being developed today, and there are currently no rules limiting their use."
