The US is definitely a very awkward society. Instead of restricting the personal ownership of guns, they implement mechanisms for total surveillance.. "Recent reports have raised alarm about the use of PatronScan, an ID-checking and face-scanning system, at multiple LGBTQ+ bars in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood. Much of the attention has focused on reports that the system photographs patrons as they enter venues and questions about whether those images are used for facial recognition. A broader privacy concern also deserves scrutiny. For years, PatronScan has marketed itself not just as an ID-verification tool, but as a system that allows bars and clubs to identify patrons, keep records about them, and share information across venues. As one news article published in 2019 documented, PatronScan built a network that allowed participating bars to flag patrons and share information about them with other establishments. And in California, it’s not at all clear how PatronScan’s business model of scanning IDs and sharing the information from those scans with other bars comports with the law. California’s ID privacy law, which was amended in 2018 to add ID “scans,” states that no businesses shall “retain or use” any information from a scanned ID card except for limited purposes such as to verify age, comply with a legal requirement, or prevent fraud. A venue cannot claim to be a safe space while feeding its patrons’ data to a third party database." #USA #California #Surveillance #PatronScan #FacialRecognition #Privacy https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/why-are-gay-bars-building-databases-their-patrons

#Meta executives initially denied the existence of a #facialrecognition feature, #NameTag, in their #AIGlasses. However, CTO Andrew Bosworth later described the feature in detail, contradicting previous statements. The feature, which would be encrypted and localised to the user’s device, aims to help users remember people they’ve met, addressing the “cocktail party problem.“ https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-exec-describes-facial-recognition-feature?Metaver.se #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds #XR #VR #MR #AR #BeyondPictures

Smart glasses with cameras and microphones built-in and facial recognition to come are the latest fad in surveillance tech. For my blog & newsletter ~ this week in security ~ I wrote about why the backlash against smart glasses — aka "pervert glasses" — is justified from a security and privacy perspective.

"Entrenching a climate of surveillance across public life." "People’s faces being scanned without consent and being added to lists is worrying enough, but the speed which Facewatch technology now makes it possible for someone to encounter the police force in the middle of their daily shop is a really dangerous escalation." 🗣️ Sarah Lasoye for ORG. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/10/facewatch-facial-recognition-uk-shops-instantly-alerts-police-civil-liberties #facialrecognition #surveillance #policing #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol

:meme_catto: Alarm over launch of facial recognition in UK shops that instantly alerts police // The Guardian “The idea of calling the police on somebody who hasn’t committed a crime, but there’s a concern they might, is really upending the way we do things. And of course, it’s not infallible. These systems do make mistakes, and it’s very hard to argue with that when it happens to you.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/10/facewatch-facial-recognition-uk-shops-instantly-alerts-police-civil-liberties #facialrecognition #uk #privacy #civilliberties

Facial recognition scanners are turning up at airports, stadiums, and even Disneyland's gates. Most offer an opt-out, but few make it obvious. Before your next visit, check the venue's policy and look for the opt-out lane. #privacy #facialrecognition #biometrics #optout #indigoprivacy

This morning, I had the urge to stick out my tongue at my phone to see if it would still recognize my face ... #Tech #FacialRecognition I didn't do it and that puzzles me.

#FacialRecognition is a serious threat to #privacy, #FreeSpeech and entails means of #discrimination. As an artists, we should refuse to performe at places insecured by this technology. As a venue, it's your responsibility to keep it out of your #SecurityConcept. https://www.banfacialrecognition.com/venues And as a fan, one should support the #FacialRecognitionBan. https://www.banfacialrecognition.com

🤔 Thinking about using one's face to unlock devices... What happens to the ability to unlock a device after one's face ages? Some people's facial features remain the same for decades, then abruptly start to change with wrinkles and loss of muscle tone so I am thinking in the future this could be a problem. #Tech #FacialRecognition

#Meta Tapped a# Pentagon Supplier to Prototype #FacialRecognition for Its #SmartGlasses The arrangement is documented in a software license, obtained by WIRED, that was issued by #RankOne Computing—a Denver-based company that derives roughly 80 percent of its revenue from government clients (#US Marshalls, #NCIS, US Special Operations Command)—and is tied to a test version of the Meta #AI app that powers Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. https://www.wired.com/story/meta-rank-one-computing-face-recognition-smart-glasses/ https://archive.ph/xXeGB

🚨 Facial recognition surveillance is expanding rapidly across the UK 🚨 Police are rolling it out on our streets and making up the rules as they go. We've joined rights groups in writing to the Home Office demanding any future laws rein it in and protect privacy.
