Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored...

  Yeah, no. I’d be inviting my sister to visit me instead.

    Yeah this has to be super inconvenient for the residents. I imagine many delivery services, DoorDash, instacart, will refuse to do this bullshit. Forcing the resident to meet them at the gate, or just not receive service at all. I would be pressuring my HOA to end this policy.

      Not in US, but all those non-perishable deliveries will leave their stuff at the main gate guardhouse. Not sure about food though.

      You think people doing door dash deliveries actually care about that? The average person that also uses an iPhone probably has been ok with face unlock for years.

      In my workplace they rolled out the face unlock for Windows laptops some time ago. I see many many people making use of that. And I don’t care if in some cases the claim is being made (right or wrong whatever) that images don’t leave the device. The average person won’t think there is a difference to it.

        Don’t conflate opt-in local facial recognition with mandatory cloud facial recognition, especially when it’s being sold to cops. It’s a bad take and weakens your credibility.

        I’ve had uber drivers cancel on me because they don’t want to enter a gate code. Because it’s inconvenient, could be error prone, and slows them down (I would assume.) So it might not always be privacy concerns but also inconvenience.
