Trusting MS to make quality products. Lmao
Not to trust, but at least some principles
Oh, that’s a relief. I thought the police would just buy the data from another company, that buys face data and runs recognition on it.
The base problem is the lack of an US privacy Policy, which don’t exist. In the EU an invasive surveilling like this is only possible after an court order on investigated persons because of an crime, or in case of certain events where there is a high risk of an attack, but this decision never depends on the police themselves.
The US protects source code under free speech. Meanwhile the EU is trying to ban encryption.
I wish we had some tech regulations but at least we can try to protect ourselves
Banning encryption was idea from the conservative and right wing parties, but no proceed. It’s not all perfect in the EU, but in these aspects light Years from the USA, which we also notice in the EU products of the big brother companies. f not, the fines are drastic.
eg Microsoft US vs Microsoft EU
that
buyssteals face data and runs recognition on it.
If regulations don’t get put in place fast enough, then the US is seriously going to be China 2.0.
It is kind of surprising to me that the US intelligence services are trying to be a better China
I’ve seen 3 different comments lately bitching some variation “if you don’t like America go deal with China’s social credit system!”
Ah yes a credit system meant to control behavior… Surely none of us have credit cards or losns because its the only way to do certain things like even finding a rental in some areas.
You can’t lose credit by calling Trump a cock gobbler. Credit control’s what you can afford/get based on debt history. Social credit controls every facet of your entire life based on how “good” a citizen you are. Imagine saying “Biden clearly has dementia” then not being able to get on the bus because you just got a -20 infraction for bad mouthing the holy Lord and now you’re completely barred from all public transport.
This is a very real scenario of China’s CCP controlled Social Credit System.
I’d like to avoid that for the US by blocking the technology from being used in this manner.
Also, I don’t have a credit card. (⌐■-■)Biden is passing a number of laws that do precisely those things, including making ANY criticism of Israel “antisemitic hate speech” and opening up fast passes to strip any org they don’t like of nonprofit status. Also, you can not have a credit card but that means there are certain things you aren’t allowed to access and certain areas you aren’t allowed to live. Saying “IDC” doesn’t mean you’re less restricted, just means you accept your restrictions.
Until they force Microsoft to let them use it or they pay million
I’m pretty sure Microsoft can tell them to fuck off. Maybe they pay millions, but even then MS has to weigh the possibility of bad press and lawsuits against a relatively paltry sum. The larger problem will be if someone finds a workaround or simply ignores the terms of service, I think. This article talked about the “United States Police Department,” but there is no such department. Law enforcement in the US is highly fragmented across the federal, state, and local levels. Any of them could just decide to break the terms of service.
A new bullet point specifically prohibits using real-time face recognition technology on mobile cameras, such as dashcams and body cameras, to identify a person in uncontrolled, wild conditions.
Furthermore, it excludes facial recognition using stationary cameras in controlled settings, such as a back office.
Still problem with recorded video of mobile camera. How long until not „real-time“ anymore? 15 minute?
…unless they ask nicely, of course.
