A report warns EU institutions and member states over new facial recognition technologies, saying collecting facial images of individuals without their consent or chance to refuse "can have a negative impact on people's dignity". The report from the European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) points out that the risk of errors and data leakages raises fundamental rights concerns related to privacy, human dignity, personal data protection or non-discrimination. For example, the use of facial recognition technologies during demonstrations might create "a chilling effect", preventing people from exercising their freedom of assembly, expression or association 👁🔬 Gatis Sluka https://karikatura.lv

FaceID is commonly used in China now! Any guess on how long it will take the US to see FaceID? Prepare for the Technology-Driven Future. @marriagecanwin put me on to his biometric devices almost seven years ago! #faceid #biometric #facerecognition #business #money FORGET THE CHIP (at Shanghai, China)

Casino destination Macau is requiring facial recognition and identification card checks for withdrawals made by Chinese UnionPay cardholders at all ATMs, as reported by Bloomberg. Customers who make a withdrawal from the updated cash machines will be asked to stare into a camera for six seconds so the facial-recognition software can verify them against their identity card. The move is a three-fold effort to reinforce Macau’s existing anti-money laundering rules, increase banking security, and enable China to try and dampen the outflows pushing down the value of its currency (which, last year, topped $816 billion). Casinos are a classic way to launder money, as individuals can withdraw significant amounts for chips, gamble very little, and then cash out to move the remainder.

Social Photography and privacy

Those friends who insist on a daily basis to share their lives through photos and status updates on Facebook and Instagram can be pretty annoying. It’s made worse when they include you in that picture upload, without asking and then go ahead and tag you as well! Now this can be a great picture or mostly it’s not and you yourself would never have uploaded it, so why should someone else be able to and think nothing of it? Is this a privacy issue or not?

Facebook in particular has a heavy-duty facial recognition engine that has the ability to recognise you pretty much straight away, it then promotes you to tag each person in the picture (Brandom 2015). There has been much discussion about whether this is a privacy issue, and a lawsuit in 2015 in the US called into question the actual face recognition system, which Facebook then disputed (Brandom 2015).

The impact of being tagged means that the horrible picture your ‘friend’ posted will now feature in their feed and your feed and will be seen by so many more people. On a personal level you agree to the terms and conditions when you sign up, so if someone uploads your photo or tags you then it is allowed. Your choice if you disliked the image or felt uncomfortable enough about it would be to ask the person to remove it, detag yourself, or complain direct to the social media platform and ask for it to be removed (eSafety 2017). There is however an option in settings where you can turn off being tagged by selecting “no one” to the question "Who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you are uploaded?" (Brandom 2015).

The discussion around digital photography on social media platforms takes us to how much has photography changed from the Kodak camera (Jason Farman 2014)? The main change Nathan Jurgenson identifies in his interview (Jason Farman 2014) is the audience; he attributes this to the fact that old school photography wasn’t necessarily taken with the audience in mind. These days it seems the audience are the prime reason for the imagery. Nathan calls these images “social” photos and they are; photos that have been taken primarily to be uploaded to social media platforms (Jason Farman 2014). While using social media platforms allows for photos to be shared quickly and easily, this also means the social photos can be distributed without your authorisation, rendering you vulnerable (Vivienne & Burgess 2013, p. 282) and is something that everyone should be mindful and respectful of.
