Anti-facial recognition mask
- ... that masks (pictured) have been designed to confuse facial recognition systems? Source: Some wear flimsy medical masks and swimming goggles, others wear heavy-duty respirators and protective glasses. All are covering their faces to protect themselves not only from police tear gas – but also to obscure their identities... blob-like mask... prosthetic mask of a face... “collective” masks
- ALT1: ... that the use of high-tech surveillance to monitor protests and identify participants has led protestors to use anti-facial recognition masks (pictured)? Source: and is part of a growing battle between high-tech surveillance and evasion of such surveillance. Demonstrators have not only worn masks but also used umbrellas to shield themselves from surveillance cameras, destroyed CCTV cameras and “smart lamp posts,” and used lasers to neutralize them.
