I'm sure this is completely accurate technology and isn't racist in any way. /S

Considering that the US still does not have any kind of working national census, and only relies of the deeply flawed social security system for a national ID database, I wonder how accurate this system is
Considering they're just looking for a pretext to arrest someone, I think it's accurate enough for them.
It's not, but it might be enough to reduce the ridiculously high number of erroneous kidnappings detentions. Not that they give enough of a fuck to be embarrassed by their ineptitude, but even they recognize that screwing up so much only serves to give their critics (additional) legitimacy.
They probably just use Facebook + LinkedIn or other public databases. I remember a project on hackaday of someone who did something similar and found with some basic programming, it's definitely possible to get some matches. But that was years ago.
Bear in mind what AOC told us about the "Big Beautiful Bill". ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons combined. After they zip-tie you and throw you in the van they can light their Cuban cigars with $100 bills.
Decline to use facial rec at airports due to this shit
They already have your face when you got your license @ your local DMV.
Decline? You think you have a choice?
You actually explicitly do have a choice
Just imagining this and laughing. "Actually gestapo, it's my right to not be disappeared against my will!"
I've done it. Recently. Walked up with my palm covering the camera so it didn't see me while I approached, stepped to the side of it once I could, said I opt out, and went through.
You idiot. I said in my post "decline at the airport" - meaning decline when the TSA asks to do it at airport security Not when ICE tries to take picture on a street
You think TSA (a part of DHS) and ICE (also a part of DHS) are somehow disconnected and not working hand in hand towards the same exact goal?
"Yes, you can opt out of TSA facial recognition"

You can opt out at the airport. That's a fact. Not sure how that relates to whatever you're saying but doesn't matter because whatever you are saying is not relevant to the conversation.
Wearing masks is legal.
What a shame it'd be if the app/database got hacked and everything got deleted so ICE couldn't identify anyone /s
I predict it being ubiquitous one day, where everyone has the ability to id others. It's already a thing in los Angeles. Also, I was just reading about how a person's gait can be used to identify someone, so wearing a mask won't be enough. Technology is just gonna get better.
Using facial id software on people while wearing a fucking mask. What happened, guys?! I thought you couldn't breathe under there!
I thought they didn't care about the identity and just kidnapped whoever they felt like. Do they really need this?
Wear Juggalo make up. Doubt they are using depth perception. Since that data would probably not be available.
Got it. So everyone wears cardboard cut out masks.
time for every immigrant to change style, grow a beard/shave it, change hair cut. start using makeup.
question, would that work?
What would happen if these people started those bleaching tablets, like MJ used...
That just makes me wanna wear my nondescript ball cap & aviators with a medical mask.
I've no idea what that latter sentence was supposed to mean, but here's an unpaywalled version for you.
KYS stands for kill yourself. Unless there's another acronym that means something else I'm pretty sure that commenter is just being mean.
