police will be fully militarized soon and it will be framed as a way to keep Americans "safe"

[@HardKore5250]

Technology for the win!

[@ryanlevin1912]

Calling it

[@jesshu22]

The most surface problem with Facial Recognition is one will be looked at as a Criminal even if he has done just a small offense in the past by Law Enforcement. There are, of course, deeper problems with Privacy and all.

[@unpopularopinion6200]

Privacy is a joke.

[@youssefaitmenna5003]

And the mass will do nothing , like always

[@Boobies92545]

HATE ME they had this technology for years. We are just barley hearing about it. But I understand where you are coming from. The masses is going to think "oh the government is just trying to keep us safe lol" Now more activists are going to be on their threat list .

[@manjcuck6609]

Don't worry about it as long as your not breaking the law

[@DeaFBRED]

Ya you Walk into A store, you won't Have to show Your Papers,. there will Be no 4th amendment, it's Mass Collection of Everything You do. This is '''''''''''''''PERVERTED"""""""""" .....breaking the law? By this,.. there Will be No law... Enemy Breaking them ALL.

[@sockself]

i do hate you

[@tigernikki101]

Yep

[@Arnellius_Martinius]

Amongst other things the issue of facial recognition is the way the camera picks up light. With a higher emissivity that occurs because of a higher melanin content the software doesn't pick up the distinctions of features of blacks or other darker toned minorities (see Vox, they did a video on it.) It's one thing for people to racist, but cameras inadvertently are too.

[@jordansing9216]

This tech will cause a big problem because a lot of people will be ok with it.

@@zes7215 What is a "storix"? Y'know what? I don't care to hear from a troll who only opened their account 15 min ago. Ta.🖕🏿

Lmao saying all black american story are the same lmafo😂😂

@@Saiputera I'd love to mock the ignorance of your reply, but your poor grammar has done that already. Ta, troll.🖕🏿

[@-grizzly-4224]

Time to start wearing masks...

[@SweetasSugar42]

What about rights to privacy and anonymity??

[@DaKurupt19]

Unfortunately you have no right to privacy in public. Cover your face if you want to be anonymous outside.

[@inthemixwithleahbpodcast]

SweetasSugar42 that's out the window

[@scj3188]

that ended after 9/11

[@angelb2067]

Lol, what's that? Lol #sarcasm

[@manictiger]

Well, that's already gone with PRISM in place. We're way past that now. Now we're talking about the ability to hunt down people that 'aren't liked'. Not necessarily criminals. They could just be people that 'aren't liked'.

[@Ibadkhan]

Welcome to the future!!! where the hate has mad humans to tight security.

[@martinmino4635]

This breaks so many civil rights, we need an ONG that starts to fight for us.

[@ichsuper]

Well as far as I heard, in China they didn´t find this guy "in the crowd" they had facial recognition at the entrance, so they knew he was there and then figured out where his seat was. If thats true, its not too much magic to it, but please correct me, do you have some source? Would be interesting. Still amazing video and very important topic. We in germany are talking about this topic aswell (but right now public facial recognition is not allowed).

[@anttayla_ng987]

Goldjüngchen they still got it you guys jus don't know yet.

[@alkante2962]

Watched three years later from Europe. Still utterly interesting. Revolting and heartbreaking. Thanks you for your testimonies and your fight. edit : technology evolves, police and justice errors go with it. Nothing changes. What is scarry is when humans by sheer lazyness abandon their judgement to machines, giving the upper hand to technology at the depends of humanity, acting on the dangerous principle that a technology is not biased abd cannot be wrong.

[@churchill_c]

So people with the iPhone X isn’t safe anymore?

[@beenice4126]

I don't like it. This is too much what if it malfunctions.

[@Anna-ml7rm]

Walmart.... You go to self checkout and your being recorded. Why?

[@michelangelotorres_filmmaker]

'Person of interest' in real life

[@theneighborhoodkid545]

That's terrifying

[@ashknoecklein]

I'm personally against the military use of facial-recognition technology as well.

[@staygreat3611]

it criminalizes those who choose to ignore it and those who dont learn how to use it for their own gain.

[@manictiger]

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

[@feedsunj]

7 Months ... 7 Months ...

[@theb1524]

[@chickenjuice4841]

In the future you'll need a dust mask, hoodie and sun glasses to hide from the police stare

[@nick2902]

Sounds like a lawsuit, and PTSD case against those that are certainly abusing facial recognition! Give me the good old days. Say 1790 AD.

[@devilo737]

Is Apple Face ID secure?

[@scj3188]

lol. it's as secure as the cloud.

[@QueenLaCheefa]

probably not

[@ichsuper]

the question is not is it secure, the question is, is it secure enough. For personal usage absolutely, for top secret probably not.

[@Ketoprincess]

Wow Wow Wow...I will pray for all of us.

Detroit Politicians have approved this technology in Detroit!!.

[@ashoozq]

Also facebook and most apps and phones use facial recognition... not good idea...

[@ccCrashpeace]

Black mirror

[@kartaljubavi]

can't you just hold up a picture to the camera and will it recognize it?

[@daiseydearman5053]

That's my point freedome is token away from every one not just one group

[@imbrakingthrough2152]

Hopefully no more criminals

[@kristine8338]

You can use this technology in order to find children who got lost.

[@MrArtVein]

Old news. We've been analyizing crimes long before this to catch serial killers to the point computers can make future predictions.

[@JosephNine]

THE LOCAL POLICE SHOULD NOT NEED THAT KIND OF TECH. IN A FREE COUNTRY. JUST LIKE ANYTHING IF IT GETS IN THE WRONG HAND'S OR A TYRANT IT CAN BE ABUSED !! THEY ALREADY HAVE SOFTWARE THAT CAN REPLICATE AND PUT YOU IN A VIDEO WALKING & TALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY STORE OR PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY AND SAY IT WAS YOU, AND HAVE THE VIDEO PROOF ?? THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR ARE THEY WILLING TO GO ???

[@zes7215]

no such thing as authority or not about it, doesn't matter

[@moneyman3219]

Yo dont go out

[@YouMockMe]

LOL.......police *body cams* are doing it now.

[@anneteller3128]

Now, many employers check your credit score to determine whether you can get a job, even if your job has nothing to do with financial services or collecting money. I know a woman who was denied a job over a much less qualified candidate because her daughter had been in the hospital for a metabolic disease she was born with. The credit score dropped because of all the hospital bills for her daughter's medical condition. There's only a thin line between checking your credit score and awarding a "good citizenship" score like the Chinese to determine who gets a job and who doesn't. Everyone should be concerned and speak out against this technology. You have more to fear by the type of people who put this technology in place than any foreign adversary. Elizabeth Warren is the only Presidential Candidate for 2020 who has said she will abolish the credit score requirement for getting a job. This is something to consider for your next President; it will be a step in the right direction and away from the totalitarian tiptoe we're heading in now.

[@OrionPax127]

i appreciate you, good citizen.

Damm I think I live in Disneyland since I live in a save contry with no people on people crime. I feel save all day long and police are friendly and there to stop alcohol related drivers or to high speed most of the time. Living like in this video it is better not to live at all.... of course we have no guns and different races which usualy makes things more pro crime....

[@edamame-me]

so why fight gang documentation? Instead why not put the effort into detering young people from joining gangs in the first place?

[@-grizzly-4224]

Doesnt Snapchat have this... Just saying..

14k views in 6 days with 450k subs???? What is up with your viewership ratios? This is an interesting video and I know this channel puts in effort. I have no marketing skills to show but if you took me on as a consultant I'm positive I could at least double your current viewership. Even if you had 14k subs I could almost assuredly market this channel better than 14 goddamn thousand views with this kind of effort and professionalism. Hmu you unlucky souls

[@uhohhotdog]

Why are we shunning technology?

[@drealm]

The black person's argument basically seems to be "yeah I was up to no good and they caught me so I don't like it". Assuming people are behaving morally, why is this an issue? Isn't it good to detect people who've committed known crimes? Does anyone here want to go back to the 1800's where the majority of crimes were never solved?
