Face-recognition software: Is this the end of anonymity for all of us?

From the article:

…..the US government is in the process of building the world’s largest cache of face-recognition data, with the goal of identifying every person in the country

Also from the article:

Over the past decade, face recognition has become a fast-growing commercial industry, moving from its governmental origins into everyday life. The technology is being pitched as an effective tool for securely confirming identities. To some, face recognition sounds benign, even convenient.

And…..

But the technology has a “dark side“. The US government is in the process of building the world’s largest cache of face-recognition data, with the goal of identifying “every person” in the country. The creation of such a database would mean that anyone could be tracked wherever his or her face appears, whether it’s on a city street or in a mall.

Truth is….we haven’t had our anonymity for a long time. This is all about control. What other reason would you need that much information on every single person on the planet. Criminal or not.

I find it strange that some people do not understand the danger in all of this. Will we do anything in the name of peace and safety? Apparently so.

This won’t make the U.S.  a heaven on earth, but a hell on earth. This is well beyond Orwell’s worst nightmare.

1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6 King James Version (KJV)

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
