+1 Locality Using Facial Recognition Software

What’s the deal? Staten Island D.A. Office is using facial recognition software. Yeah, the same software that some cities and states are banning because it misidentifies people especially Black people and people of color.

Why should we care? This facial recognition software isn’t like the stuff that tech companies hit the pause button on, the version at the DA office uses images from social media plus You Tube and Venmo.

Why does this matter to me? Privacy rights supporters, lawyers, & tech companies are just a few paying attention. This isn’t going anywhere and it ties into data privacy legislation.
