both

Right. Also, keep in mind we do not even need facial recognition anymore. Do you realize most people store their fingerprints in their phones now? People are handing over PII to tech firms willingly with known ties to government agencies and sign ToS's that justify the distribution of that data.

That's partially true

at what point is catching a murder no longer important enough?

your fingerprint isn't stored on your phone

The hash of your fingerprint is..

It's non-reversible.

You carry around a tracking/surveillance device in your pocket/purse.

Yes, you do.

Well, we SAY it's non-reversible. I don't know if it is or isn't at this point.

It has to be interpreted somehow, so if it can be translated in one way, it can be in the other as well.

you can't use GPS without requesting and receiving a GPS signal to your device, so you can't complain when someone is able to find your device to send that signal too.

It's a fundamental part of cryptography

Non-reversibility

You can generate the hash from the fingerprint, but you cant generate the fingerprint fromt he hash

Oh, I agree with you, I just don't trust government or tech firms not to lie about said non-reversibility.

@Grenade123 You're right about that.

Oh neither do i. Fortunately the math behind it doesn't lie

That what makes cryptology such an important asset to protect

Could be true, sure. I know only a bit about cryptography in tech.

My skepticism is fueled by a lack of trust.

...as all skepticism is, I suppose.

I'm certainly no expert in the math.. thats for sure.

Lack of trust?

In government and corporations.

Have you considered a career in Cybersecurity?

😃

Hahahaha

and what is scotland yard using them for? tracking down mean people on twitter

well its a 2 year old article

Yep.. Thats my point

The tech can so easily be used nefariously

usually they do work with ctv

I'm a 100% Free Market Capitalist, therefore I support the average working guy, the small business owner, the freelance Web designer... NOT Google, Wall Street, or the Beltway. So, when I hear about things like "tracking" and "facial recognition", I fear there may be some truth behind it.

Governments are going to use tech to oppress and control. It's what governments do.

Governments gotta government...

Government's natural direction is to grow state power. Freedom limits growth, therefore freedom must be limited.

basicly looking through vast quantitys of convicted criminal photos and comparing them with cvt footage that corrisponds with reported crimes and then compare other ctv with other reported crimes

like i asked earlier, at what point is catching a murder no longer important?

when the murderer is you?
