  • Travelers can opt out of facial recognition at US airports by requesting manual ID verification, though resistance or intimidation may occur.
  • Facial recognition poses privacy risks, including potential data breaches, misidentification, and normalization of surveillance.
  • The Algorithmic Justice League’s “Freedom Flyers” campaign aims to raise awareness of these issues and encourage passengers to exercise their right to opt out.

      One day you can ascend to even go smartphone-free.

      Ascended to that in late 2014 because using a smartphone was a trigger for my anxiety.

      Back to using those since 2020 because of WhatsApp calls, apps for every shit and such being needed in life.

      Can you just like, not be so damn condescending and elitist? Literally saying people who use TikTok and purchase stuff from Temu are sub-human…
