Onze privacy is al voor een fiks deel gestolen, dit in de oorlog tegen terrorisme, terwijl de geheime diensten een terrorist zelfs niet kunnen tegenhouden, als ze deze al lang in het vizier hebben....... Reken maar dat ook bij invoering van dergelijke gezichtsherkenningstechnologie men je voor zal houden dat dit van het grootste belang is van jouw eigen veiligheid......
In de VS heeft de Customs and Border Protection (CBP usa) aangekondigd dat het de komende zomer gaat experimenteren met gezichtsherkenningssoftware voor rijdende auto's, waar men met deze technologie alle passagiers in een auto kan scannen.......
De vervolmaking tot een staat als beschreven in George Orwells 1984, komt steeds dichterbij.... In China heeft men al een zonnebril voor politieagenten ontwikkelt, die ook de gezichten van passanten (en daarmee mensen die staande zijn gehouden) razendsnel kunnen scannen met gezichtsherkenningssoftware.........
Met dit soort soft- en hardware zal het steeds moeilijker worden om nog in opstand te komen tegen de huidige inhumane neoliberale status quo..... Nog even en men weet al wat je denkt als je door de stad loopt....... Hitler en z'n misdadige kliek zouden er van kwijlen, elke tegenstander zou in een mum van tijd kunnen worden opgepakt, vastgezet en vermoord.........
Derrick Broze stelt in het artikel hieronder dat e.e.a niet meer is tegen te houden en dat de tijd rijp is om gemeenschappen te creëren waar men dit soort technologie afwijst (wat nooit zal worden toegestaan). Echter het lijkt me allesbehalve te laat om massaal in opstand te komen tegen deze totale afbraak van ons recht op privacy en op de inperking van onze 'vrijheid!!' (voor zover er nog sprake is van vrijheid...)
US to Test Facial Recognition Scanners on People in Moving Vehicles

(AP) — On
Thursday the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced plans for a
new pilot program that will test out biometric facial recognition
technology as part of an effort to identify fugitives or terror
suspects. The Austin-American
Statesman reported
on the announcement:
“Thanks to quantum leaps in facial recognition technology, especially over the past year, the future is arriving sooner than most Americans realize. As early as this summer, CBP will set up a pilot program to digitally scan the faces of drivers and passengers — while they are in moving vehicles — at the busy Anzalduas Port of Entry outside of McAllen, the agency announced Thursday.”
The
Texas-Mexico border is being used as the testing grounds for the
technology. The results of the pilot program will be used to help
roll out a national program along the entire southern and northern
borders. The
Statesman notes
that the Department of Energy hired researchers at Tennessee’s Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to help overcome the difficulties of using
facial recognition technology on moving vehicles. The researchers
developed a method for combating window tinting and sun glare which
can make a vehicle’s windows impenetrable to cameras. The facial
recognition technology being developed for the pilot program will be
capable of identifying the driver, front passengers, and the
passengers riding in the back.
The
CBP currently operates facial recognition exit programs at almost a
dozen international airports in the United States. Colleen Manaher,
the CBP’s executive director of planning, program analysis and
evaluation, told the Statesman that
travelers have been accepting of the technology and noted that “we
can thank the Apples and the Googles for that.”
Although
the CBP claims implementing facial recognition technology could
eventually eliminate the need for passports, boarding passes and
other travel documents, the technology is without a doubt an invasion
of privacy. Both the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Georgetown
University’s Center on Privacy and Technology have called for
further investigation into the potential dangers of a massive facial
recognition apparatus. In the U.S., only Texas and Illinois have laws
preventing the use of biometric data for commercial purposes.
The
new Texas pilot program is only the latest effort by the federal
government to implement a wide range of biometric and surveillance
programs around the United States.
In
August 2017 Activist
Post first
reported on the plans
to launch a national program scan the facesof
all airline passengers in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
launched a “Traveler Verification Service” (TVS) that intends to
use facial recognition on all airline passengers, including U.S.
citizens, boarding flights exiting the United States. That same month
it was reported that
thirty-one sheriffs along the U.S.-Mexico border voted unanimously to
adopt tools that will allow the collection and storing of iris scans.
Additionally, Activist
Post just
last week reported that
the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency now has
access to a nationwide license plate recognition database after
finalizing a contract with the industry’s top license plate data
collection company. This database allows ICE to search a vehicles
whereabouts over the last five years, as well as developing “hot
lists” that can track particular vehicles indefinitely.
The
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is currently facing
a lawsuit for
failing to release records related to the agency’s use of devices
to gather biometric data from immigrants. Mijente and the National
Immigration Project of National Lawyers Guild (NIPNLG) are asking a federal
court to force ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release
information related to the use of handheld devices used to gather
biometric data from immigrants during raids.
These
programs are reminiscent of mass surveillance systems established in
Russia and China. The truth of the matter is that all three nations
are taking different paths towards the same goal: control and
monitoring of their population and suppression of critical thought or
opposition. The only way to stand against this is to refuse to fund
the programs at every turn and sharing the information. It might be
too late to stop the establishment of these programs, but the people
could potentially form enough of a resistance to establish free
communities and neighborhoods where these invasive technologies are
rejected.
