30 years ago you could have an e-mail and phone that were anonymous. Now its very hard to do so, and they have ways to keep track of you.

Computers have a tiny amount of memory called ROM, its what connects the CPU to all connected parts of your system, drives, memory, keyboard, mouse, etc... via POST. Thats where booting up came into vogue. Its quite possible that Cellphones and other gadgets have ROM that is kept active even if phone is off and even battery is out.

Cellphone tower triangulation, GPS, even cameras and mics can be turned on and you can be pinpointed to within a few feet.

Facial recognition tech. is far ahead of FB, they can use ANY picture DL, Military ID, Passport, FB, Instagram, etc....

Now when you sign up for anything free or paid, they want multiple contact details. E-mail and Phone at a minimum.

NSA has the fastest network and the most robust mainframe ability by far. Also tens of thousands of people.

They probably have a better idea of how many pairs of underwear you have purchased in the last 10 years than you do. They know how many times, at what time, and what you purchased at Wal-Mart.

We are being choked out with surveillance...

You’re correct in sentiment, but you’re not using the right technical words. Pretty much all accurate though. Most of the nefarious shit on phones for active government surveillance would be done through the baseband chipset. There are undoubtedly many zeroday exploits the feds are sitting on. It’s the passive surveillance through devices like ring doorbells that is the biggest problem imho.

These same assholes using facial ID are banning cops from using it to catch criminals in Ca.

Your license photo is searchable already by LEO.

The future you worried about 10-15 years ago is here, the people you thought were crazy were just simply right.

I've been saying it since the pandemic hit and masks started to be pushed: They are using facial recognition tech to take inventory of those who are disobedient.

If you don't wear a mask your identity will show up at a much higher rate in facial recognition databases than those that wear masks.. then it is just a matter of big brother setting a threshold and they have a high confidence list of people who are disobedient.

I've been wearing a mask and beanie covering my ears since the masks started being pushed.. not because I'm afraid of the virus but because I'm keeping my signature on these facial recognition databases low.

it is weird. masks seemed like the opposite of whatnthey wanted because facial recognition, but i guess they just wanted them for 2020 so people could loot with masks and count votes with masks.

Some sneaky way? It's called fucking AI algorithms that have been doing it for nye on a decade or more. Anyone whose ever been in public spaces where id is required (airport, courthouse, jail, DMV) they not only have your face tied to your information, they've got your gait on camera which is unique to you and a half dozen ever metrics.

Christ, I'm in my thirties and I've known about this since my high school days. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

They have Real ID in Maryland. You have to submit your social security card, passport, or another form of ID.

All states are required to have that by the end of this year I think.

But what I can't understand is how all of these minorities are going to be able to comply with the requirement since they just don't have access to IDs.

You want to talk about surveillance? Try this on: "..but I say unto you that EVERY IDLE WORD that men shall speak they SHALL give account THEREOF in the Day of Judgment.."--Matthew 12:36 KJV (that's 6+6 : 6+6+6+6+6 +6) Think about it! 🐸🇺🇸
