Pubs are buying facial recognition technology to track and record you [Crikey]

quote:

Facial recognition can be used to identify patrons, track their movements and even record their emotions, according to companies advertising to gambling venues.

Pubs, clubs and other gambling venues across Australia are already using facial recognition technology to surveil customers, with some businesses promoting the tech as a way to capture data about people’s emotions or to show personalised advertising to patrons.

The Australasian Gaming Expo in Sydney this week had exhibitions from multiple companies selling facial recognition technology, from smaller security companies to some of the biggest names in gambling machine manufacturing. These range from full hardware setups with specialised cameras to systems that can be installed on existing CCTV.

Next to its bright, loud showcase of new poker machines, Ainsworth Game Technology exhibited The Guardian, a facial recognition technology from New Zealand company COMS. It sells cameras it claims can pick up faces 20-25 metres away. Its software allows “one-to-many” recognition, meaning individual faces can be checked against a whole database of potential matches. According to staff, 15 venues in South Australia, two in the Australian Capital Territory, and 170 in New Zealand are using its technology.

Facial recognition is touted by companies as a way to promote responsible gaming by helping venues identify people who’ve chosen to self-exclude from gambling. Enforcing someone’s self-exclusion presents a challenge for companies with multiple venues and staff — a challenge companies selling facial recognition technology say they can solve.

police rounding up everyone based on their internet chat logs is my fascism nightmare. I guess in theory there isn't enough cops to do it all in one night, but it's chilling to think I might be on the list for night one.

It might not be true. Apparently one of the people behind the data cited in the lawsuit says it's a misrepresentation

if you don’t want to click through to read the incisive journalism the ny post is known for:

quote:

OnlyFans squashed competitors in the online porn industry with the help of a bizarre scheme that bribed Meta employees to throw thousands of porn stars onto a terrorist watchlist, according to a group of explosive lawsuits.

Adult performers who sold X-rated photos and videos on rival sites saw their Instagram accounts falsely tagged as containing terrorist content — crippling their ability to promote their business and devastating their incomes, according to the suits.
