Too much information is as useless as no information. But I don't see why anybody from the Facebook generation would have any privacy concerns anyway since they freely give it away.
Compared to Facebook and Google, I think the FBI is probably way behind the curve. It seems almost ridiculous for us to handicap the FBI in identifying people in images when Corporate America is already routinely doing it and leveraging it for profit. At least the FBI is doing something I mostly want done. If we want to stop the FBI from doing it, we have to stop everyone (which is probably impossible).
Between internet history, credit/debit cards, toll booths, security cams, etc. I think we have already sacrificed our privacy. I'm not thrilled about this technology being used but it isn't exactly a game-changer.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, this seems like more of an efficiency thing than anything else. I don't have a problem with any of the following: 1. FBI searching for people suspected of a crime 2. Cameras in public places 3. FBI looking at data from cameras in public places All this does is speed up that process dramatically. If the goal is to catch someone suspected of a crime, I don't see why that's a bad thing. It would be different if there was anything "new" here - cameras being placed in new locations, FBI tracking/searching for people proactively that weren't suspected of anything, etc. But this seems no different than going from paper records to computer records or any other other method of increasing efficiency of doing something.
I agree. What's next dusting for fingerprints at the crime scene and putting up wanted posters in the post office?
Doesn't London already use this technology. I think its how they were able to arrest something like 90% of the people breaking into stuff after the riots last year.
Are you guys under the impression that this is some cool new technology? lol This technology has been in use for some time in a set of countries which I venture would make you far more concerned. But once again the salient facets of this plan are not supplied neatly in an information sheet to the media, and the media does not give enough of a damn to dig deeper because it makes for good news and protection of "property rights".
not new technology but probably a much wider availability, much deeper data base, and a lot more computing power I read somewhere that whomever (NSA?) has bots scrolling through all the social media where pics have identities and is creating a data base of a large percentage of the population of the developed world. If you could then put an automatic scanning camera at every Customs station world wide or at every highway crossing an International border that could issue instant alerts you'd have something
Old news. If you have the new version US passport then your biometrics are already in the database. Social media is not reliable and won't be used, I can upload your photo and tag myself. Technology will get better and was worse. Point: has been in practical use for a few years already globally. This is a new decision, not a technological feat being put to use.
no, they do facial recognition and cross check it a thousand times per name and face with associations of friends and acquaintances including all your contacts and email to and from. Every labeled picture file on the internet including image storage sites. It's a matrix of information that can say. determine who the back of head is by who else is in the picture or where and when it was taken.
............what? Was posting a slew of aimless, sociopathic paragraphs, devoid of anything that might be mistaken for substance your intention?
If that's your interpretation of the messages used to manipulate the working class in an Orwellian society, then so be it. Except instead of corporate interests feigning under the veil of democrat or republican propaganda and the blind cheering on, you now have one sole power taking on the role of God. The 1 figure people know they can trust. Desperation pushes people to accept unfamiliar truths, and in a police state with a tanking economy and no real national identity outside of prosperity, you will witness some radical changes coming up. Absolutely, radical.
It's my interpretation of the obscene level of narcissism in your ever sentence. Your confidence makes you no more a prophet than using a Bible as factual evidence to support the existence of God. Any point you think you were making, was lost in vague prophecies, generalizations, and David Koresh type conviction. You even have the same ability to appear coherent long enough to display an understanding of the current status quo. You might be right if you think that some people don't agree with you because they don't understand. However, others understand and identify your act as what it is: Either a form of troll or a the delusion ranting of a well-read nut job. You're style isn't cute, endearing, or capable of inspiring action. It's tired and lacking any hint of objective reality. If you want hint at pseudo sciences like Cyclical theory, then come out and say it rather than pretend it's some unique thought in a world were there are none. Come back when you're done using the same old voice. I was the only one bored enough to listen, and I've lost interest.
