Goofy lawmakers playing witch hunt games and in-fighting while policy and regulation of tech that steals our identities for profit isn't even on the table. There's the root of what's coming and now here.
"Facial recognition tech is probably coming to a lot more vending machines"
"Smart vending machines were found to be using facial recognition technology on a college campus. The vending machines were removed from the campus after the news made headlines."

Red sandstone tenements on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. If you look carefully about half way down the block, you'll see a face on it (made up of two round windows and the chimney). I've always loved this feature. Seeing faces in inanimate objects like this is known as pareidolia.
People who engage in #hate#attacks and #vandalism while wearing #masks are the biggest #cowards on the planet. If they're so proud of themselves and their actions and their cause, why are they #hiding their #faces? It's because they know they're #scumbags, and they know what they're doing is legally, morally, and socially unacceptable. And they're terrified of having their #identity exposed for fear of the #consequences. That's a #coward.
I made the mistake of originally publishing this photo at http://www.viewbug.com/photo/5280904 back in December, 2013 - don't do that! Viewbug kinda really sucks and you can't even download your own photos. Here's the specs I have on this:
From, "The Piggy Opera", Concordia Elementary School, San Clemente, California.
The tell tale signs of a child who still sucks her thumb is apparent in this portrait of a girl with a starring role in a school play.

We didn't really have a #Fediverse back then, although we did have a few platforms that still exist and are the major parts of the Fediverse today, such as #Friendica (had a couple of name changes since then), StatusNet/PumpIO, etc., but none of that is really important.
This is the first photo of a series - I'm prolly going to try out "collections" and make this part of one. I still have a bad taste left in my mouth from the #gplus days when they launched collections, but I digress.
The Piggy Opera was her first grade school play, and from an age of innocence that eventually evolves into some awareness on the childs part that I think most parents loathe - we always wish for them to remain the "Itty Bitty Baby" that we carried everywhere on one arm; and this was in the last months of when she was still light enough for me to carry her everywhere.

Well, I guess this applies to anywhere else on the internet too.
