Literally NO ONE said US wouldn't do this. This thread is about China, wtf does USA have to do with this?
It's literally clockwork, whenever a bad thread on China comes up. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE UNITED STATES!?
So it's the Hydra helicarrier targeting system from Captain America Winter Soldier. But real.
Woof.
Woof.
I'm sure it'll be used for every once in a while between monitoring journalists and activists.
Hmm, I keep hearing about cell phones being used to send subsonic audio to track things in a household and in public, I wonder when we'll learn cell phone cameras are being used to capture pictures at events/in public and feed those images up for crowd analysis.
I'd argue it is already. Social media seems to have made the political and social divides worse.
Great technology, but like most technology it's not the tech that is bad its the person or people who use it.
It will be good for catching fugitives, with this tech Harrison Ford would not of stood a chance.

Meh, technology like this rarely makes people genuinely safer than they were. Crime will just change to exploit the cameras. Don't be surprised if decades from now it comes out that members of the CPC were actively involved in using the facial recognition to drive human trafficking on a massive scale.
im not sure how it can be done but someone needs to come up with a device that can blur your face from these types of cameras. something like that is going to be critical in the coming years. or we all resort to wearing fake mustaches. personally i like the moustaches.
It will make life substantialy harder for criminals if these camera will recognise them 24/7.
Tracking mere robbers isn't worthy the loss of privacy and the ways in which this technology will be abused.
I'm glad I'll be dead before we see the worst of it.
They can't track us if we become virtual entities and hide in Cyberspace.
they probably can
Holy shit this is terrifying.This from the article is pretty Watch_Dogs'y.
That's true. It brings one solution but it creates a ton of problems. Not worthy really. Too bad the Chinese government doesn't give a damn and is on their way to implement this.
The U.S. has a similar system that's capable of capturing 1.8 gigapixels with 368 5 megapixel cameras. They've been working on it since at least 2001. Does this mean that the Chinese have caught up with the American surveillance system yet? Have they managed to put them on drones yet?
