tame in comparison !

The Chinese hacked that technology from the USA.

Really .......... are you mandated to carry an RFID like tag embossed with your social security number which monitors and records your every day waking moment, grants and deducts points for every activity in which you engage, identifies everyone you meet and speak with, determines whether each activity is politically acceptable or not, etc. The PRC is far beyond just facial recognition!


What is interesting is how much facial recognition is being used in
places you would least expect it. The obvious places being casinos, of
course, but churches, schools, retailers, bail-bondsmen...

You must visit London, England to witness the proliferation of CCTV installations. Outside of the eastern block it must be the most surveilled city on the planet.
