I got this reCaptcha on archive.is and it is too ironic not to share.

    in the very recent past facial recognition didn’t work well if your complexion was dark enough and mine is, but i don’t know if that’s true anymore.

      It depends on how good the camera and the software are. They’re constantly getting better. And if the software is complex enough, even wearing a mask won’t help because the software may tag and track you because you’re different to everyone else in that case.

        i hope that the spirit of capitalism in my country will create entire industries of masks, makeups, glasses, and clothes that are capable of defeating face recognition.

          Nah there’s no market for that really and it’s also illegal in some countries (idk about the US).

            not yet and that’s why the black market and the dark web exist.

            it’s impossible for the police’s human eyes to detect that your glasses or your makeup is capable of reflecting the light that face recognition needs to identify you; at least for now.
