On the Cyber podcast, a wild investigation into how a researcher at University of North Carolina used gender transition videos on YouTube -- without permission -- to build facial recognition software for trans people. His rationale? Terrorists might do HRT in order to evade facial recognition systems, sneak over the border and blow stuff up. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-trans-dataset-built-without-permission-and/id1441708044?i=1000592769166 #transrights #trans #data #privacy #AI
@annaleen I'd be shocked if the US government hasn't already done this years ago, and you'll never know about it. The 3-letter agencies and U.S. Marshals went big on facial recognition technology ten years ago and today it's everywhere.
You don't hear about it and you won't hear about it because it would reveal what they know and what they have.
