  • Don’t forget that the NFL isn’t just using this tech for their employees/security. It’ll also be used for ANYONE entering any stadium. I see they are trying to backtrack the use of this tech in recent articles, but they already have a plan in place:

    Enhancing Fan Experience and Operational Efficiency

    Beyond security, the NFL also aims to improve the fan experience through facial recognition technology. The Cleveland Browns, a pioneer in adopting this technology, have already showcased its potential for expedited ticket entry and beverage purchases. By using facial biometrics, fans can enjoy quicker access to the stadium and reduced wait times at concession stands.

    The league’s decision to adopt facial recognition technology aligns with a broader industry trend. Other major sports leagues, including the NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL, have also embraced similar technologies to enhance security and improve fan experience.




  • Honestly, it’s gonna be an uphill battle & maybe a futile one at that, depending on age. I share so many articles & what not w my parter and friends showing them that so and so is bad for your digital privacy. They respond like wow ok I should do something about this 😮…anyway, back to scrolling on Meta apps and buying stuff from ads that are fed to me. It’s not until they click that one wrong ad and compromise their financial info/identity data that they come back and ask what I was talking about that one time re: online privacy 😅😒

    Don’t even get me started on ppl who have cameras indoors. Honestly, it’s just really creepy to me that people go back and watch what others are doing throughout the day. It’s funny that some ppl in my circle are so ACAB & what not, yet when I share that their Ring cameras share access to law enforcement they’re like oh wow really? & that’s about it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I have had some success using this video to introduce ppl to some real life consequences: https://youtu.be/F78UdORll-Q I think what really helps drive it home is the escalation of tactics & real world ramifications of failing to understand how important privacy can be, not just for the individual, but for our communities/society.

    Good luck 🍀! I hope you can find a way to persuade him to take it a bit more seriously!







  • “It works like this: credential holders snap a selfie, Wicket scans the resulting image and compares it to a photo on file to verify their identity as people pass a security checkpoint. Credentialing software provided by UK outfit Accredit Solutions helps to make those checks and determine access rights.”

    •I have never heard of/used Accredit Solutions or Wicket so how tf are you comparing it to a photo on file?

    “Last year, the franchise also offered spectators the chance to scan a ticket as they entered the ground, which then enabled pre-registered facial biometrics and credit card details to be used at an “Express Beer” lane that allowed acquisition of suds without having do anything more than grin in the right direction.”

    •Wow, fuck all the way off w all this shit!

    So much for going to anymore sporting events 😫🥴
