This still has to go to the Senate so please for the love of god if you care about your rights and privacy tell your senator to vote NO!
My city is currently in the midst of an AI facial recognition/predictive policing thanks to a secret partnership with Palantir tech dystopian nightmare
Frankly I would be happy to see my state ban facial recognition completely, but they definitely aren’t going to, but take this as a warning.
We should have federal regulations and state regulations! There is absolutely no need for them to ban regulation at the state level other than the argument it will halt progress.
In reality they are invading your privacy and generating valuable data for these stupid AI data centers and they don’t want you to be able to decide this sucks and I want it to stop in my state!
Not only would it ban laws for the next 10 years, it would remove existing laws. Some places already have a facial recognition ban, and this would repeal it!
It’s nuts this seems to actually have some bipartisan support in the Senate, bc everyone is “so concerned” about America winning the AI race.
News flash, we probably won’t win it. It was a dumb fucking idea in the first place, and yeah they put all of our eggs into the AI basket and it’s probably going to tank the economy even more, but why TF should we be giving them even more control in the hopes that maybe they can make a lot of money by further invading our privacy and doing some really evil shit with our data?

This is how you know “pro-states rights” conservatives are lying to you.

You can tell when they’re lying because their lips move.

Yeah it’s not that this one lady is nervously stepping out of line bc she’s starting to sweat and realize it means she’s also fucked and not magically protected by being a part of the old money white men’s club
Meanwhile the technocratic elites that want this ban and all the Republicans in the house that tried to sneak this through are the ones looking out for you?
GTFO with that nonsense.
Anyway, like I said here’s a story about the dystopian nightmare I’m facing bc my state is ALLOWING THIS DEREGULATION TO GO ON
Now the FBI, ICE, National Guard, and the fucking Department of Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries also have completely unregulated access to look for whoever they want with zero oversight bc it’s a private company. We all know corporations are our frenz right? 🥰

The department of wildlife is over the rangers correct? That would explain why. Rangers are already less regulated than even the police, and they have the same powers.
