All aboard this dystopia train
It still is. Still. China has made a deal with Zimbabwe to get more data of persons of color.
The authoritarian country that manufactures the majority of the world's technologies and has learned a lot from stealing the same tech is now slowly using said tech to completely rule over its citizens with an iron fist and a close eye in a hellish dystopian future. I for one did not see this coming.
Fuck China.

I can see stuff like this coming more popular
I remember reading this paper last year thinking - this will only get worse. Yup, it's getting worse.
Good to know China intends to export this shit. Who will be their first buyers?
The future hellscapes science fiction authors have imagined for decades have begun in China.

I'm currently in Hong Kong and was having a stroll earlier today through the new high speed train terminus in West Kowloon, was quite shocked by all the arrays of cctv cameras absolutely everywhere, and was wondering if this is for some face recognition program bs.
China is getting really scary at a crazy pace lately.

There are plenty, actually.
Brasil already bought / used Huawei tech for facial recognition during some holidays.
I'm not sure they still have the right to imagine, except if they dream about Xi
The defenders here say it's fine and dandy as long as you tow the party line and don't cause problems!
I can see you being beaten to death and having your organs sold for not having facial registration.
If everyone around you is in the system it's going to make you a target that stands out I'd imagine.
Just wait until they solve VPNs. You can bet this tech will be outsourced to the rest of the Western world asap.
Yep, this is the country people say should take over global leadership from America. The oppressive surveillance state with government-sanctioned organ farms.
Sure, if a dark skinned person commits a crime all dark skinned people get flagged.
When you go in to buy a SIM card they will just ask you to take them off. Same for train stations and whatever else may require it. Tracking you down the street isn't that important if they can track you at every social interaction point.
