The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

Hear from people living in Ukraine, on how end-to-end encryption is vital for keeping themselves and their loved ones safe in times of war. A film by Global Encryption Coalition.
A beautiful and sensitive piece by my Index colleague, Francis Clarke, on the legacy of the Holocaust, the importance of documenting war crimes wherever we find them and the ongoing commitments needed to giving meaning to the phrase Never Again https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2022/12/seeing-auschwitz-is-a-timely-reminder-of-the-importance-of-documenting-atrocities/

#COP26 was a test for #PoliceScotland to ensure it could police while also respecting the rights to #protest and #FreeExpression. It largely failed with @netpol and the Article 11 Trust reporting widescale failings. A year on we must ensure lessons are learnt https://netpol.org/2022/12/16/respect-or-repression-one-year-on-from-cop26-still-no-closer-to-accountability/
Respect or Repression: One year on from COP26, still no closer to accountability - Netpol
Twelve months since we published Respect or Repression, little has been done about our shocking findings by a number of professional bodies purportedly responsible for oversight of Police Scotland’s activities during COP26.
Powerful piece on @globalvoices about the sit-in organised by Rasha Azab, Eman Auf, and Mona Selim in #Egypt to push the Journalists Syndicate to do more to protect #FreeExpression and secure freedom for #politicalprisoners https://globalvoices.org/2022/12/12/rasha-and-her-friends-7-days-off-script-for-three-egyptian-journalists/ #FreeAlaa

Daniel DrepperIch bin seit Jahren großer Fan der Arbeit von Taylor Lorenz. Jetzt hat Elon Musk sie von Twitter verbannt, weil sie um einen Kommentar zu ihrer aktuellen Recherche gebeten hat, wie journalistisch üblich und vorgeschrieben. Wer ihrer Arbeit folgen will findet sie hier auf Mastodon unter @taylorlorenz und liest ihren Substack-Newsletter: https://taylorlorenz.substack.com/p/elon-musk-banned-me-from-twitter #Pressefreiheit
