@bigbrotherwatchhq: 👁️This morning, we told hundreds & thousands of Britons on Good Morning Britain about the harrowing consequences of shops using Orwellian facial recognition systems 🧻A woman in Manchester was FALSELY accused of stealing toilet roll in a Home Bargains store using facial recognition provided by Facewatch “Danielle is actually one of dozens of people who've got in touch with us because they've been either misidentified by the technology or wrongly flagged by facial recognition as criminals when they're totally innocent.” Madeleine Stone, Senior Advocacy Officer at Big Brother Watch speaks with @goodmorningbritain's Susanna Reid. . . . #stopfacialrecognition #surveillance #facialrecognition #homebargains #facewatch #privacy #uknews #bigbrotherwatch #goodmorningbritain
Stuff like this helps stores with the safety of employees as it can tell us if someone is violent or not

the last I heard facial recognition softwares couldn't differentiate between people of colour. has this been resolved? or has it just been rolled out regardless?

"if you've got nothing to hide, then you've got nothing to worry about"... the video literally talks about a woman being misidentified...

Even if it was reliable - a shoplifter should be still be allowed in stores to purchase things. You can't just stop people from eating. Some people have reasons to steal. This is immoral on so many levels. The law is not morality.

Live facial recognition software, if it makes an error, then face watch should be taken to court for slander and defamation of character

companies that do this and get it wrong should be forced to pay massive compensation. it's the same as being found guilty of a crime with no trial

Why can't they just use normal CCTV and employ people to check them??

I wonder does this still legally qualify as defamation because I would absolutely sue for the embarrassment alone. You can’t use inferior tech that doesn’t work and blame it on that. Don’t use it if it’s this inaccurate.

Any Shop or venue relying upon inaccurate facial recognition database is the author of their own misfortune.
No shop or venue has any defence, if any, if a member of the public is improperly or unlawfully targeted and ejected in serious breach of Article 8 ECHR, DPA 2018 and UK GDPR.
Any alleged victim has the potential alleged right to bring an alleged civil claim.
Both the shop / venue and the Facial Recognition Company should be jointly pursued.

Mistakes happen. That doesn't mean you abolish the whole system because it isn't 100% flawless; that's just a race to the bottom.
We don't get rid of the entire prison system because a tiny percentage are wrongfully incarcerated.
Mistakes happen. The important part is how many and how often.
But the media jumping on a single occurrence to start fear mongering is irresponsible.
