We've got an issue here. It won't let me see the post. I believe you, but is there an archive version of this?

Even China's facial recognition is wrong like 20-30% of the time
This is going to have so many false positives...
This is going to have so many false positives…
That's the idea.
It’s the smartphone version of “I smelled marijuana,” bet there’s a setting to double tap a button and flag an offending person regardless of documentation.
And China doesn't have any black people, for whom facial rec is notoriously inaccurate.
Oh, yeah, false positives all over the place.
If you get ensnared by this little scheme, make the best of it. Keep track of everything that happens during your detainment, down to the slightest inconvenience, because you are going to blow that up when you get your case into a courtroom. Make these Sociopathic Oligarchs fund your (hopefully early) retirement.
The first line kinda ignores the minorities in China. It's mostly Han so the minorities suffer similar discrimination there due to lack of representation or excessive regional enforcement
I'm not saying that China doesn't have its own forms of racism and discrimination, I was just pointing out that studies have shown that facial recognition systems are far less accurate with black people, which America has in far higher numbers than China. If there are already going to be false positives for a country like China, it's going to be much higher in America, where we have a population segment that doesn't really exist in China, which has a notorious poor accuracy for facial rec.

Might wanna be careful with those genie wishes, in context.
Who would win?
An app connected to a server
1 itty bitty DDOS attack
Error, couldn't reach server. Default judgment: guilty
Is it time for LOIC to make a comeback?
Double tap to declare guilty and deport. Single tap to deport
This is analogous to drug sniffing dogs; the purpose isn't that the technique is valid, it's that is provides a plausible excuse for an action.
I really really really hope that when this is all said and done, every single one of these people face consequences. And we all know what consequences the people want.
Just like the Nazis!! Oh wait USA has pardon most of them, specially in Japan (They're still in power)
Boomerberg trails.
Life comes full circle Nazis did genocide to Jews so now Israeli are enabling Nazis, while carrying out genocide of their own.
I can't believe nobody has noticed this in their rage boner, but this is double hearsay. Some dude said that he was told by other dude that this is going on.
I'm all for people fearing and even hating ICE, but this one smells funky.
This is ice officials talking to journalists.
Ice official... So... a dude? Probably incompetent and misinformed at that.
Assumed scepticism isn't a boon.
I mean... to be fair, a lot of news stories are just heresay witness testimony.
So do some of the comments here.
The next step is to set this app up to declare anyone who is known to criticize Trump as an illegal alien.
America, WAKE THE HELL UP RIGHT NOW.
of course the app creators intended it to be used like that. anyone in that field knew exactly where things were likely to head because they always head that way. if you hadn't paid attention to that type of surveillance technology that you might not know but these people definitely did. They wanted it, they got it, and now they're pretending to be embarrassed.
