Hi, I hope I am not on the wrong list, if so, please direct me elsewhere.
If I remember correct, someone was posting some info on this mailing list about anti facial recognition measures. I was checking research on this and if I understand correctly, facial recognition could be done even if you are wearing mask (over mouth) and glasses, since AI algorithms are using quite a lot of nodal points on the face. So my first question is, is it better if you are wearing mask over the nose or over the mouth only? I also have found an info, that some devices (for instance iPhone) are using IR light to "penetrate" sunglasses. So, my question is... what if I wear face mask and pinhole glasses (or sunglasses with anti IR coating)? *To what extend would that measures block facial recognition software on public places?* In past years several European countries adopted legislation to prohibit face masks. Those measures were justified by the publicsecurity (measure against protesters), and there were also arguments that this measures promote respect for European cultural values (measure against Muslim women). Now things has changed. In my county you are obliged to wear a protection mask if you go to store or bank. Plus protective gloves. Which is kinda funny... :) However, when COVID19 will be gone, there will still be medical reasons for wearing masks. Not just infection, the problem is also air pollution. What I am thinking is - wearing a mask is not our obligation. It is our right. Of course, if we wear masks and glasses based on medical reasons. Because medical reasons prevail public order and also security.
