Coach Pāṇini ®WTAF, this episode of #BlackMirror sucks
Vote In Or Out 🇺🇸 on Instagram: "ICE's Mobile Fortify app can override your birth certificate, even if you're a U.S. citizen, according to a Department of Homeland Security document reported by Joseph Cox at 404 Media. The app scans faces without consent and can ignore evidence of citizenship if its biometric match disagrees. Congressman Bennie Thompson revealed that ICE considers the app's match definitive, even if it contradicts IDs or birth certificates. The technology struggles with blurry, low-light, or side-angle photos, which are common in street captures by ICE agents. This has led to wrongful detentions, including a U.S. citizen held for 30 hours due to an incorrect match. All scanned faces are stored for 15 years, raising privacy concerns. Senators and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have criticized the app, calling it unconstitutional and a missed opportunity for a ban. #ICE #FacialRecognition #PrivacyRights #Biometrics #CivilLiberties #SurveillanceState #Unconstitutional #EFF #HomelandSecurity #BennieThompson #404Media #JosephCox #MobileFortify — A US citizen was already wrongfully detained for 30 hours based on an incorrect biometric match repost @thedylanschmidt Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson"
ICE's Mobile Fortify app can override birth certificates, IDs, and even citizenship status, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. With no consent option, the app scans faces and stores them for 15 years, even for US citizens. Senators and the EFF are calling it unconstitutional.
