I thing Budapest Pride has the potential to show how bad the false positive rate of face recognition really is. If Orbàn dares to test it. Given how his ban was simply ignored, I doubt he dares because that would certainly jeopardise his power. But who knows. Maybe sucking up to Putin or his and his goons' own inner repressed self demands it.

Side note: unlike being queer, face recognition is banned in the EU (unless national security, lalala), so I can only hope the rather queer-unfriendly conservative folks for the most part in control of the EU commission do respect the rule of law and prosecute this breach of the ban in every single case.

How Governments Spy On Protestors—And How To Avoid It | Incognito Mode | WIRED

Law enforcement’s ability to track and profile political protestors has become increasingly multifaceted and technology driven. In this edition of Incognito Mode WIRED Senior Editor, Security & Investigations Andrew Couts and WIRED Senior Writer Lily Hay Newman discuss the technologies used by law enforcement that put citizens' privacy at risk—and how to avoid them.

Schneier on Security · Age Verification Using Facial Scans - Schneier on SecurityDiscord is testing the feature: “We’re currently running tests in select regions to age-gate access to certain spaces or user settings,” a spokesperson for Discord said in a statement. “The information shared to power the age verification method is only used for the one-time age verification process and is not stored by Discord or our vendor. For Face Scan, the solution our vendor uses operates on-device, which means there is no collection of any biometric information when you scan your face. For ID verification, the scan of your ID is deleted upon verification.”...

As the USA is rivalling China in surveillance and repression technologies (including concentration camps, etc.) it's now advisable to get off US hosted social media, not to provide information that can be used for identification, etc.

Big Brother is at risk of developing an inferiority complex as the infrastructure for automated thought police is now getting abundant, cheap, and in the right hands.

A 3 months #research around #patterns to bypass #cctv #facerecognition.
Tested with #opencv.
Project done in the #fabricademy, a programme over textile and technology, at the @greenfabric node.

I knitted 2 kimonos on a #kniterate, a semi-industrial #machineknitting with deadstock yarns. The 3rd one is a deadstock fabric whose pattern was already a working #camouflage for opencv.

The project is fully documented here:
class.textile-academy.org/2024

Concerning cctv surveillance, France has recently gone crazy over it... it seems like they want to recognise logos from organisations in protests and faces associated with them... does someone know an opencv algorithm to detect specific images? Or does it necessarily go through machine learning?

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.

Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.

My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.

In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.

In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!

A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.

I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ). 💜

Knitted piece in black and white. The text "my Mother is a computer" is written on it.

Sports stadiums in the U.S., are turning increasingly towards facial recognition in order to save time, and therefore money, by shortening lines at stadium entrances.

From MLB to the NFL, fans across the country are being offered express entry into sports grounds if they opt in to the technology. However, privacy advocates argue that these kinds of surveillance tools are never totally secure, make it easier for police to get information about fans, and fuel “mission creep” where surveillance technology becomes more common, or even required. @WIRED has more.
