Health Self Defense ❤️🔥😷Opt Out of Biometric Theft, Facial Recognition Tech, and Data Scraping
https://keepbeyond.com/optout/#clauses
Borders, check points, events and venues are increasingly implementing biometric gathering where we are by default opted in.
In addition, AI platforms have and continue to use our books, photos, videos, artwork, faces, and creations, to train their algorithms.
We should be asked for our consent to opt in, rather than us having to fight to opt out. And for our creations, we should be compensated if we do choose to opt in. We should demand consent culture and cannot allow the normalization of surveillance culture.
We are enthusiastically being sold the idea that Biometric gathering is frictionless and easy for us. We are simply not being told when and how our data is being used to train AI. But the truth is, it makes the taking of our data frictionless and easy for them. Keep tabs on Opt Out, privacy, and data retention clauses to know your rights.
As stated on the TSA website (when traveling within or leaving the US): Participation in the testing of biometric technology is voluntary. Passengers may notify a TSA officer if they do not wish to participate and instead go through the standard ID verification process.
Things you can say to initate:
• I am opting out of biometric technology.”
• “I do not want my photo taken.”
• “I am exercising my right to opt out of biometrics.”
Before you approach a checkpoint:
• Observe where the camera is.
• It is often ready to take your photo when you approach so be alert.
• It can look like an iPad-like device mounted on a podium/stand or even a small standard webcam.
• Cover your face while approaching if necessary.
GLOBAL ENTRY MEMBERS: For those with Global Entry, CBP are now penalizing passengers who do not want to submit to having their photo captured by either revoking or not renewing Global Entry membership.
Keep this in mind when navigating.
