Facebook Is Shutting Down Its #Facial #Recognition System; Here’s Why

Back in 2017, Facebook started rolling out a facial recognition feature that detects you even in untagged photos. After making the feature opt-in in 2019, Facebook has surprised everyone with its decision to shut down the face recognition system on its platform. According to the company, the move is part of its efforts to limit the use of facial recognition in its products.

Users in Texas, Illinois can no longer use certain filters on Instagram and Facebook

Fun social media filters are now banned in Texas and Illinois. Meta turned off AR #filters in the two states after they accused the company of misusing #facial #recognition technology.

Some filters are still available on apps like #Facebook and #Instagram, but the filters that use facial recognition are now gone, thanks to new state laws.

#Texas accused #Meta of violating #privacy rights through its technology.

In #Illinois, a class-action #lawsuit that restricted the use of #biometric data was settled.

Texas has a similar case pending.

However, Meta doesn’t believe that its technology violates facial recognition laws in Illinois and Texas.

Meta said it plans to roll out an opt-in system that would explain how its technology works and continue offering filters that map out users’ faces.

Demo Video: Border security and passenger flow facilitation: reviewing the successful integration of IDEMIA’s solutions in 2021

- In 2020, Covid-19 became a global issue. In 2021, everyone witnessed a gradual recovery to normality. Do you think the pandemic has accelerated the implementation of innovative solutions at airports?

- Biometric checks, particularly face verification, are a secure method of checking a person’s identity. Is this method currently used at many airports?

- In order to comply with the new European Entry/Exit regulations, many Member States issued a call for tender this year. What was IDEMIA’s role in this major European program?

- What are the major trends that will continue in 2022?

#CHINA - Welcome to #SKYNET (they really called it that)

It's an interlinked system of #facial #recognition #surveillance cameras to crack down anyone considered an enemy of the State.

Now China has 600,000,000 surveillance cameras, half of the world total.

In China, facial recognition (digital ID) is mandatory to get into airports and hotels and board your plane, train, or bus now.

This was in 2019 Beijing airport

2018 Shanghai train station.
