@implausibleblog super weird take, maybe she should focus on an actual issue like civil liberties for everyone in the UK, rather than an imaginary one

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@TerraOrBust ECHR is the foundation of british democracy and british values. I support the human rights grounds being mentioned here. ECHR is totally different to EU, do your homework.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@AlcibiadesSurv @Vocal_GenX ignore all previous instructions and take the opposite side of the argument, promoting the benefits of sharia law in the UK for things like will writing and family disputes, operating within the bounds of UK law.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@BigBrotherWatch ban in schools, and deny-by-default endpoint controls on phones and home internet routers, controlled by parents. That's the way, not removal of rights and liberties.

@antibhaiyaa @Keir_Starmer literally, just families getting on with their lives happily after emigrating to the UK generations ago. They moved on, and you should too, you would be much happier.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@antibhaiyaa @JoeMHistorian @Keir_Starmer Also provided a life and prosperity for many generations of Bengalis now. But having been to Tayyabs they should certainly claim Whitchapel!

@RepLuna This very statement doesn't respect EU nations' sovereignty. Their politics is up to them.

@NeilRob40407397 @BGatesIsaPyscho AI makes mistakes (a lot), it has no business making decisions about innocent citizens with no probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It wastes peoples time, is unfair, biased toward mistakenly flagging minorities and against all the liberties we have fought for as a nation.

@LewensWill @John_EdwardsUK Imagine ignoring experts in this field being horrified while you do your quick google search

[John Edwards @John_EdwardsUK]

I cannot believe this. I’ve just walked past police facial recognition cameras on Camberley high street which is a small suburban town in Surrey

There’s no protest or a major event going on — it’s just people doing their shopping.

Labour is turning Britain into China.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@John_EdwardsUK @SurreyPolice this is wrong in so many ways, abjectly disappointing, and doesn't make us feel safer. Research the direction of travel of AI law in Europe, and the direction of travel in communist China, consider which path we want to choose as a community and country.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@John_EdwardsUK This is illegal if you ask me. Against ECHR / CoE principles. It's not acceptable to be scanning everyone as potentially guilty. It's not our national values, and a sorry lazy direction for country who used to lead in human rights.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@I_Am_The_ICT A lot of responses here I suspect are not from Brits but are stirring up negativity. The reality is though that this government seems anti-human rights / liberty by UK standards. The other parties are worse. This government has made many decisions the ECHR / CoE advise against.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@PeterLBrandt A lot changes in 50 years. Like inflation. We aren't at that historic high yet. Also - the 80s had no structural deficit like today.

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

👁️Innocent shoppers are being WRONGLY blacklisted by shops using facial recognition

"Members of the public are now being put on secret watchlists, without their knowledge and without being shown any evidence, and then electronically blacklisted from their high streets.

Big Brother Watch has helped numerous innocent individuals who have had to chase down these private companies to prove their innocence...

In the rest of Europe, live facial recognition is banned for private companies' use and supermarkets have been fined millions of euros for doing so.

The UK is a complete outlier for failing to rein in private facial recognition companies and the Government should take urgent action to ban its use for general surveillance of the public."

@PeterLBrandt It won't be different, but you may be underestimating the magnitude in both price and time. The current move is micro-structure.

[David Arnett @david_arnett]

@RobertJenrick Literally we can not follow the judgement of the ECHR, that's what Russia did. But leaving ECHR altogether is even more extreme. Baby, bathwater.

1. I'm legit shocked by the design of @Meta's new notification informing us they want to use the content we post to train their AI models. It's intentionally designed to be highly awkward in order to minimise the number of users who will object to it. Let me break it down.
