Why was facial recognition disabled when it became popular? -Security-cnBeta.COM

Facial recognition is familiar to everyone. From Face ID on the iPhone to Alipay facial payment, this technology that was only seen in sci-fi movies has become increasingly common. It’s logical to think that a convenient technology should become increasingly popular, but Shichao saw a news story about disabling facial recognition two days ago:

At first, the Super League was a bit surprised. Why did the sales office sell a house and still use facial recognition?

Later, I learned that this facial recognition is used to distinguish between natural visiting customers and channel visiting customers.

Naturally, visiting clients means that Shichao takes the initiative to see the house, and channeling visits to clients means that Shichao visits the house through an intermediary.

The reason the sales office uses facial recognition is to see if you have taken the initiative to come to the sales office sooner.

This is because sales offices generally offer brokers some preferential purchases for clients, but visiting clients naturally do not.

If you have ever visited the house on your own and the facial recognition machine registers it, you will not be able to enjoy the group purchase discount from the intermediary if you go to the intermediary, because the machine has identified you as a “natural visitor user”.

Therefore, some people wear helmets and masks to inspect houses. .

Good boy, this is how real estate uses our cute little faces. . .

This is pretty good, at least you don’t suffer financial loss.

Some people just brushed their faces and not only didn’t they wait for payment, the house was transferred the same day and even mortgaged to a third party. . .

This starts with the “Yonge Deng” app released by the Nanning Real Estate Registration Center, and this app was also released to let everyone run fewer errands through online processing.

Although the original intention is good, because the application must be authenticated by face, once the authentication is passed, not only can the real estate be verified under the name, but the transfer of the real estate can also be handled. . .

The broker tricked the customer into using the house check as an excuse to perform face authentication in the app and then sold the house after changing hands. In other words, information on people’s faces is already a way to authenticate identity at some point. Obviously, our protection of our own facial information is not enough. Multi-channel filtered face is 5 cents, 3 cents … worse than cabbage.

So while facial recognition is very convenient, Shichao feels that sometimes disabling facial recognition can greatly reduce our risks and protect privacy.

In foreign countries, various regions of the United States have successively enacted laws prohibiting facial recognition.

In January 2019, a study found that Amazon’s facial recognition technology Rekognition has a hard time distinguishing female faces from dark-skinned faces.

The study also showed that Rekognition did not make a mistake in identifying men with lighter skin, but the probability of confusing women with men was 19%, and the probability of mistaking women with darker skin for men was 31%.

Your facial recognition policy is wrong. . .

To get back to the topic, if it is true as the research institute said, then in the actual use process, in fact, there will be a certain chance of admitting the wrong person, and once the wrong person is admitted, there will be more problems later. . .

In fact, San Francisco banned facial recognition technology in May 2019, and just two days ago, Massachusetts also voted to pass a police ban on facial recognition.

Portland is a step in place – it passed a ban in September, which not only bans the city council from using the technology, but private companies and public places cannot use facial recognition. . .

In our country, on October 21 of this year the “Personal Data Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China (Draft)” was issued, in which article 29 of section 2 states the following:

To put it bluntly, confidential information can no longer be collected casually.

A former citizen with a doctorate in law was dissatisfied with the forced use of facial information as a condition for admission to Hangzhou Wildlife World, so he took the zoo to court and won the case.

The case of brushing the face at the zoo is also called “the first case of facial recognition” ▼

To put it bluntly, I just bought a ticket and wanted to go inside and see the little animals. Why do I want my face information?

The use of facial recognition at high-speed train stations aims to increase security based on the purchase of real-name tickets and basically eliminate the risk of reseller tickets and fake tickets, which everyone can understand.

And you want a zoo too, isn’t that too much of a fuss?

Before giving you a mobile phone number or something like that, you can’t stand it. Now you have to go prostituting even my appearance, isn’t it too much?

In fact, the issue of personal privacy has been debated for a long time. We are increasingly harassed by phone calls and text messages, including Shi Chao himself who often receives spam. Only then did I realize that my panties had been stripped. Nothing left. . .

Later, facial recognition came, we just don’t want the experience to repeat itself, so we need to treat our face information more carefully.

After using facial recognition several times, Shichao feels that we are getting closer and closer to the future, but when our personal privacy is completely out of our control, then it is not as good as living in the past.
