Buongiorno, ma sì, abituiamoli fin da bambini ad essere biometricamente scannerizzati, dopotutto è per il loro bene. «ICO to step in after schools use facial recognition to speed up lunch queue» https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/oct/18/privacy-fears-as-schools-u... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Nine schools in North Ayrshire began taking payments for school lunches this week by scanning the faces of their pupils, according to a report in the Financial Times. More schools are expected to follow. The ICO, an independent body set up to uphold information rights in the UK, said it would be contacting North Ayrshire council about the move and urged a “less intrusive” approach where possible. [...] The company supplying the technology claimed it was more Covid-secure than other systems, as it was cashless and contactless, and sped up the lunch queue, cutting the time spent on each transaction to five seconds. [...] Other types of biometric systems, principally fingerprint scanners, have been used in schools in the UK for years, but campaigners say the use of facial recognition technology is unnecessary. [...] “It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till. In a secondary school you have around about a 25-minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast throughput at the point of sale.” [...] parents had to give explicit consent and cameras check against encrypted faceprint templates stored on school servers. [...] makes our service more efficient and enhances the pupil experience using innovative technology”. [...] The council said 97% of children or their parents had given consent for the new system. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Io non riesco a credere a quello che leggo, non riesco a credere che sta succedendo davvero. ...tutto questo nella patria del punk e di «The Wall» dei Pink Floyd, evidentemente qualcosa deve essere andato /parecchio/ storto nel frattempo :/ Saluti 380° -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
