Open post Bill Halcyon @bill_halcyon1@mastodon.social · 8mo ago Replying to @Em0nM4stodon__dup_1827@infosec.exchange Each time a new privacy-invasive feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely. If each time a new privacy-invasive feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued. Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters. It is an act of self-protection but, perhaps even more importantly, it is also an act of protest. A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights. The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse. If we do not refuse, if we do not fight for our privacy rights, we will lose them all. #Privacy #MassSurveillance #AgeVerification #FacialRecognition #HumanRights #DigitalRights @Em0nM4stodon
