Being in the facial recognition space we see a lot of news come through every week. We decided to try and compile a list of some of the best and most interesting news for our customers sprinkled in with what we are working on as well.
Our Favorite Story of the Week
Has facial recognition paranoia gotten stupid?
Despite the provocative headline, this article presents a fresh and unique point of view about the privacy implications of services like Google StreetView. Are we protecting the right to privacy or the right to not be embarrassed?
"Google Street View might embarrass you, but that’s not really a “breach of privacy.” No matter how bad it feels, you don’t have a right to not be embarrassed."
