Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. - eviltoast
You have the right to opt out of facial recognition tech. Here’s how.
  • Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
  • Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
  • The Algorithmic Justice League’s “Freedom Flyers” campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

    Stupid privacy people. What’s the worst that could happen? A fascist coming into power next year who could misuse the data?

      Stupid privacy people. What’s the worst that could happen? Surveillance companies that have already scoured the internet for photos of people to build a giant database of people?

      It’s also not like they could ever use the hundreds of other cameras all over the airports. What would they do with all that data anyways?
