Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.
No, this enables that.
what’s wrong with hunting down terrorists?
What if they decide you’re a terrorist? Governments should not have this power period. Anybody can become an “enemy of the state” at any time.
What if I tell you the instant you make a successful protest. Leak information of crimes commited by the government, or threaten some industry interests they’ll do that anyways.
They are still hunting down a couple of guy’s whose only crimes was to denounce crimes the government did. They call those “whissle blowers”.
i don’t think it’s for that purpose , it’s to identify where terrorists are hiding and not label anyone of terrorism
How cute. Is this the first time you’ve seen a government use terrorism to excuse atrocities?
Sure, I guess you could trust them, but I see no reason to. Do you think this will just stop being used after the conflict? Do you think they aren’t using it to target families/friends of people who resist them? Do you think any form of resistance is terrorism? Is Israel using force to induce fear and submission not terrorism?
i am not telling you to not doubt them
It labeled many people falsely as terrorists and was a waste of time. That’s why it got leaked to begin with.
Nothing, as long as that’s actually what you’re doing and you are good at doing only that without creating collateral damage.
I don’t think the people upset with the treatment of Gaza got that way by being concerned for the welfare of actual murderous terrorists.
