this face-scan age verification system seems a little weird... 🤨

Từ nay, khi đổi máy điện thoại, các thuê bao di động tại Việt Nam sẽ phải thực hiện sinh trắc học khuôn mặt để xác thực danh tính. Biện pháp này nhằm tăng cường bảo mật, phòng chống lừa đảo và kiểm soát cuộc gọi rác hiệu quả hơn.

📣3 Styles für deine nächste Demo!
Es ist wichtig das wir für unsere #rechte und gegen #Ungerechtigkeit einstehen. #protest ist die Form in der einzelne viel Wirkungskraft hat, wenn sich alle zusammentun.
In einigen Ländern wird es aber Demonstranten immer schwerer gemacht auf die Straße zu gehen. Hohes #Polizeiaufgebot, #Bodycams oder der Einsatz vom #Gesichtserkennung soll abschreckend wirken.

New Privacy Guides article 🙅♀️🔒
by me:
Sometimes, it can feel like our data is being harvested left and right, completely outside of our control or consent.
Yet, we still have a powerful weapon to fight back against surveillance:
The power to say NO.
Saying no is how we stand a fighting chance against the normalization of mass surveillance.
We must exercise this right every time we possibly can.

I want more details as to what is going on in that case where Google payed 1.375 billion in damages after allegedly collecting #biometrics and tracking users without user consent.
"According to the lawsuit, since at least 2015, Google has unlawfully (without consent) collected Texans' face and voice scans to empower its targeted advertising business.
Additionally, Google was accused of persistently tracking Texans who used its products and services, constantly logging their location and searches made while in Chrome's incognito mode."

@danie10 @hcj Australia's new law effectively means #teens will not be able to research topics that may OR MAY NOT BE affecting their society, as they move into #adulthood, this effectively reduces under-16s in #australia (and if this global trend continues, the world) as second class citizens, 2nd class youth will invariably lead to 2nd class adults. Information is NOT #alcohol, its NOT an addictive drug, it is the bigtech platforms that have weaponized the social spaces.... social spaces in general are NOT THE PROBLEM!
the australian govt comparing this law to an #alcoholBan ought horrify every living person on earth. we should be reminded also of what the "war on drugs" actually achieved, in so far as it simply put a bunch of recreational users into the #prisonIndustrialComplex. I put forward that THIS is the real goal of this new global push by govts to ban #information for our youth.
It is also akin to the burning of books, because when govt (today in the 'land-down-under') ties access to the internet to getting a #facescan, or a govt-issued #digitalID that will spell the end of #academicFreedom. The so-called #freeAndOpenWeb and #fediverse community must move swiftly to make australia's new laws redundant.
Mobilise now....

You can say no to a #TSA face scan. But even a senator had trouble.
Let’s ask two questions about airports’ use of facial recognition: Is it truly voluntary? And is it worth it?

Next step, würde ich aber mal prognostizieren, ist zunächst den #FaceScan einzuführen, um #Gesichtserkennung breit zu normalisieren.
Das kann man auch als notwendig verkaufen, um Gefährder, Kriminelle, Terroristen usw. einfacher zu finden - vgl. #INDECT. https://archive.org/details/ProjectIndecteuSurveillanceProgramme

TikTok’s Now Collects Biometric ‘Faceprints and Voiceprints’ Data
In an update to its privacy policy earlier this week, the popular social media video app TikTok has added a new section that allows it to "collect biometric identifiers and biometric information” from its users’ content.
As reported by TechCrunch, the policy appears to allow the app to collect biometric information, which is the latest in a long, substantial list of data points that the company gleans from its large user base. This new section is found under the "Image and Audio Information" heading under "Information we collect automatically" in the company's updated policy.
TikTok was unable to confirm to TechCrunch what products necessitated the addition of biometric data collection to its list of discolsures.
The new section now states that the app may collect and store information “such as identifying the objects and scenery that appear, the existence and location within an image of face and body features and attributes, the nature of the audio, and the text of the words spoken in your User Content.”
TikTok says that part of the data collection is to allow for “special video effects, for content moderation, for demographic classification, for content and ad recommendations, and for other non-personally-identifying operations.”
As noted by TikTok itself, the identification of objects and images would be particularly helpful for advertising purposes, as the app would be able to see likely selling points for its users and provide this information to it a partner who would be better able to target its products. The other collected data would be helpful in augmented reality applications, as TechCrunch notes.
None of this is particularly unusual or out of character, but the next section does raise some red flags:
"We may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined under US laws, such as faceprints and voiceprints, from your User Content," TikTok's policy now reads. "Where required by law, we will seek any required permissions from you prior to any such collection."
This vague statement doesn't include details as to why TikTok needs this kind of information and what it would do with it. Additionally, it does not explain how the company would seek the required permissions from users as it does not specify if the company plans to reference Federal or state-level laws. If the latter, only a small number of U.S. states currently have biometric privacy laws (such as Illinois, Washington, California, Texas, and New York). TechCrunch reports that if TikTok only requested consent “where required by law,” it could mean users in other states would not have to be informed about the data collection.
When asked for further details, the company only supplied a vague, boilerplate response.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency, we recently updated our Privacy Policy to provide more clarity on the information we may collect,” a spokesperson said.
It is possible that this addition is to protect itself from future legal issues, as the company settled a $92 million class-action lawsuit filed in May 2020 over the app's violation of Illnois' Biometric Information Privacy Act.
The biometric information joins usage, device, location, messages, and metadata that TikTok already tracks and collects from all of its users. You can read that lengthy section in the company's Privacy Policy here.
