    So Meta wants its own army of unsuspecting spies?

    I can’t for the life of me imagine that this is legal. Maybe in the U.S., since the legal system there is so completely broken, but in Europe, the mass surveillance of millions of people by a private company seems likely to be a criminal offense.

        The latest attempt at chatcontroll was rejected as recently as April 3 mainly due to massive public opposition. They will try again, and someday they will succeed if too many people succumb to defeatism.

        So it’s pretty counterproductive to say that it wouldn’t make any sense anyway, because that’s not the case.

    Anyone can strap a camera to their face and run facial recognition. The crux of the problem is still that the cameras are hidden.

    We quickly need new laws around filming in public.

      Maybe just start a rumor (as if this hasn’t happened) that people are wearing glasses around kids in swimsuits to train kiddie AI models.
