For anyone who is just now getting worried about facial recognition AI and its threat, please keep in mind that this tech was largely developed at first in order to interfere with refugees.

This is a much bigger pattern than just AI tech.

Listen to the most-oppressed. The warning signs have been there for longer than you may realize.

Suggested reading to start - these are good books that give an introduction to the problem:

"Weapons of Math Destruction"
"Algorithms of Oppression"

For much more depth and detail I recommend the work coming from Timnit Gebru et.al. over at DAIR (who also have a Fedi presence worth checking out).
