Embedding facial recognition surveillance in a city-wide CCTV network represents a shocking expansion of police surveillance, and turns Cardiff into an Orwellian zone of biometric surveillance. This unprecedented use of the technology could pave the way for the mass rollout of permanent facial recognition surveillance across the UK. Live facial recognition technology turns us into walking barcodes and makes us a nation of suspects. This network of facial recognition cameras will make it impossible for Cardiff residents and visitors to opt-out of a biometric police identity check.

    Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I’m wrong.

    And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

    Super Weird.

    All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I’ve seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

    Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won’t get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.

      You’re small minded tribalism is why your opinion doesn’t matter and you’ll add very little value to the planet. Be they maga, Israeli, Palestinan, Sudanese, American. I want justice and peace for all. You’re fighting about what instance peoples are. We are not the same…have you considered going outside and talking to humans outside? No instances there lmfao
