I don't know exactly if it's personal facial recognition, but yeah, of course it is some kind of facial recognition. What did you think? Every modern smartphone has this technique, TVs as well, it's for savin energy u know? So that the screen turns off if you're not watching. Laugh my ass off. And don't forget the finger print scanners nowadyas on smartphones.
Netflix not acting when 4 people using one account? Now they know you, for free! Interests, political alignment, way of thinking maybe. Facebook knows your whole social environment, whatsapp knows your thoughts, amazon (echo) knows what you are doing at home. What else do they need? 24/7 monitoring? Already done!
That's the trick. People are still discussing about privacy and what could be, if ... too late ladies and gentleman. It's already done without your recognition.
Yes, it’s everywhere, unfortunately.
I heard that even those robotic vacuums memorize the layout of the owner’s house.
I didn’t realize how tracked our every move is until several years ago.... I got robbed at gunpoint outside of a grocery store. When I gave my statement to the police afterward, I only was able to give them a vague description of the perp, (it was dark out) that the car they took off in was a silver coupe (possibly an Infiniti), the pistol they used and the general direction they headed when they off in the parking lot.
Within 20 minutes, they had tracked down and pulled over the car with the guy that matched the description, found the loaded gun under the seat, along with the exact cash denomination they took from me (a $20 bill and 2 singles; I rarely carry cash on me).
They brought me to the place they found him & I confirmed he was the guy that robbed me. They even returned my $22!
He did 2 years in prison and was sentenced to 10 years of probation.
Curiously, there were no security cameras in the grocery store parking lot. I asked the police officer how they found him so quickly & accurately when he was miles away when they got him.
He said nothing but simply nodded up at a traffic cam—-the kind they installed to supposedly “photograph & ticket people who ran red lights”.
Although I was grateful at the time for the technology, as it helped catch the robber, but it also made me realize that the cameras aren’t merely triggered to take pics when someone only runs a red light.
They are actively recording every vehicle that passes by, and we are always being watched & recorded as we travel roads.
There’s no way all that footage is used merely for our own “protection”. Such a massive amount of data that’s being collected & stored cannot be without cost. They must be using it in other ways or it would be too much to hassle with.
