Our privacy is just about completely gone already, you’d get deeper to some of the real problems when you looked at how they quietly off or push to self off, those they have something against. Go look into the use of LRADs / ultrasonics used harass people in their homes. Or worse, cross country stalking of people they’re hitting with such devices in specific bandwidths that cause a resonance to rebound off their body capable of modulating to common network frequencies, resulting in the human body being used as a temporary network node, at the expense of the human network nodes health. The problems need to all be solved as a whole, because the combined lawfare involved that allows it all is intrinsically linked. Snwdn warned us.

I live in Idaho, where the police shot at 17-year-old with cerebral palsy nine times. The protests were minimal, respectful, legal, and there was never any threat of violence.
Police deployed snipers anyway. It’s a scary time to be an American, and an even scarier time to use our constitutional rights. Freedom of speech is a lot scarier with a gun to your head, sometimes, recently, literally 😓

If you have an iPhone, you can press the power button five times to disable Face ID and Touch ID. You can also hold your volume and power button for two seconds. Samsungs also have this feature but I forget the button combo. If your iPhone tries to do an emergency call instead, you might have a setting changed.

Emotion-identifying AI sounds like it would be especially terrible for neurodivergent people.
There are already so many horror stories where people with Autism were the primary suspect for crimes because cops thought their emotional responses didn’t make sense for someone who was innocent.
It also sounds like one of those cases where we’ll find out in a couple years that dark-skinned faces were overwhelmingly viewed as “aggressive” because of flaws in the AI training.

At the exit of a protest you can always take pictures when they remove their mask usually before they enter the area where their car where they feel they’re not being watched. B inconspicuous make no comments to alert them to your presence. If you see any going into a restaurant take a picture as I leave the restroom usually in a slight change of clothing

2005 I was dressed as Catwoman for Halloween. I stopped in a grocery store to buy candy to pass out. There was a security guard at the entrance that told me I had to remove my mask while I was in the store. I was taken aback until he simply explained that it’s so the cams could see a clear view of my face. He said robbery attempts actually increase around Halloween, because people can use the costumes as an easy disguise. This being in Chicago of all places, the thought never entered my mind. Even back then, digital surveillance was storing facial images.

Bottom line, our libturds, including the two left wing activists above, do not need to worry about it as all the gov agencies doing the monitoring are also left wing activists and Trump haters. As noted in the video, the J6 protest resulted in thousands getting impriosned on false charges, while the BLM and FFloyd fisacos of violence death rioting and destruction of public private and government buildings resulted in ” homeland security and the DoD getting some data”.
No worries libturds, you are the fascists doing the incarcerations and letting your own got free.

Wear geometrical patters with contrasting colors (e.g. black and white) on your face!
The way that the technology of facial recognition most often works is that the AI detects when contrasting pixels are next to each other to determine the shape of your face, where your eyes and eyebrows are etc. I you are „glueing“ geometrical patterns, like triangles, onto your face (that also contain some contrasting colors) it really irritates the algorithm.

Back in 2003, I was at the front line of a protest in Cincinnati against Bush’s invasion of Iraq. We were actually right outside the building he was speaking at. When the line stopped and chants continued, a guy came out of nowhere, and took a close-up photo of my face with a huge camera and flash! He disappeared as quickly as he appeared. He had some ninja moves 🤣

I have under my understanding been a victim of something similar by local forces but I could imagine that it would be mimicked on a large scale in real time. Convincing one to not only believe self inflicted demise is the solution but that the manner in which it’s done should have meaning.

what this doesn’t address is that the controls you use to tailor access of public-facing data are completely ineffectual to surveillance state operatives: they use “backdoor” access/APIs provided by the data aggregators/social media etc. Nothing you delete ever goes away, and no controls you apply ever limit access to peter thiel, musk, zuckerberg et al

But the Democrats lamenting about “fascist orange man” and claiming that they’re the “fighters against the system” is too much irony, considering that not so long time ago, Biden’s FBI and DHS designated ordinary soccer moms as domestic terrorists, and put them on the surveillance lists
But thanks for the video anyways, conservatives will need this info after the Dems will return to power and continue their Biden era “scorched earth” policy against their opponents
