    I don’t understand how you’ve equated security cameras in a PUBLIC PLACE as “less privacy”.

    What do you want privacy for in a public place?

      I don’t think the issue is “I want to do illegal things in public without consequence.” It’s more, “I don’t trust the mechanisms of enforcement to use this power justly.”

      For example: Radio City Music Hall used facial recognition tech to identify and ban a lawyer whose firm was suing them. She wasn’t even working the case. RCMH just issued a blanket ban. It’s abusive.

      And there are other risks. Stalking is a huge one. (Some creep takes your pic at the supermarket and now you spend a year of your life getting creepy messages and feeling unsafe everywhere you go.) Or there’s the risk that people who participate in lawful protest will face retribution or punishment by corrupt law enforcement.

      Kashmir Hill has a great book out about this now. You can read an interview with her here.

        No dude, I have plenty to hide. Just nothing that I do in a public place though. Wonder when was the last time you were at one of them.

      If they have facial tracking then they can basically keep track of everywhere you go
