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.

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.

@aperion on the plus side there are probably thousands of such cases that go unnoticed by the internet :)
But yeah maybe we need a #Bot similar to the #altBot which automatically blurrs all faces of persons(who are not the focus of the Video etc)
