    Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

    I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…

      They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.

        I’m salty about the real ID. Fuck that shit. I still don’t have one but I’m going to be forced to eventually. Unless I want to drive across the country to see family.

        The party that wanted to “destroy the deep state” became the deep state overnight. Imagine that.

        Privacy advocacy is necessary to protect people from tyranny, regardless which end of the political spectrum it happens to come from; and regardless whether the oppressor is a state actor, a private corporate actor, or some blend.

      There’s no model that can differentiate between 7 billion people. They all come with a limit. I didn’t check the current latest model, because a few years ago when I worked in the field, such models shit themselves beyond 20million people.

      Just to say, using face detection only, like these pieces of shit are doing, will for sure make them detain people who have nothing to do with anything.

      ICE officers are consistently wearing masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to mask their identity while detaining people.

      Privacy invasion for thee, not for me.

        Try using the infrared settings if you have them. You can potentially use it to photograph them through the masks and glasses.

      Libertarianism for me, dystopian serfdom for thee.
