“It starts with searching for a ‘brown dog’ but means the tech is there for license plate reading
Next comes ‘brown person’.
This is pretty much what I said to my wife while scritching my dogs. First it’ll just be expanded to missing kids and olds, because of course everyone wants to reunite families, but eventually it’ll be something that “law enforcement” can request for whatever the hell they want, because after all they’re the good guys keeping us safe!
I mean, I work with security cameras, and I’ve seen the tracking they can employ now. You can specify a color of shirt and color of pants to filter results with pretty solid accuracy and follow a specific person, or vehicle, across multiple cameras. I doubt it would take much to add filter by skin color.
Yep. If you have a Ring doorbell, replace it as quickly as possible. It will not only be used against you, but also against your neighbours.
My snowbird neighbors have a Ring doorbell on their house. Their front door aims straight at my driveway.
Fuckers are only there for 4 months out of the year yet I get to be under 24/7/365 surveillance from their doorbell.
My Eufy doorbell camera doesn’t do any of this creepy shit
I am so glad I never got into Ring. or Alexa, or voice assistants, but I have a roomba so I’m well aware that there’s a minor surveillance appliance in my home too. I regularly go into my privacy settings and wipe my data on Roomba because of it, but unless you’re putting your phone in a faraday cage/bag or storing it securely when you’re not using it, you’re being tracked too.
