Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Facial recognition exposes an uncomfortable truth coming in a tech surveillance society: just because you have "nothing to hide" doesn’t mean mass surveillance is risk-free, as the technology raises urgent questions about privacy erosion, racial bias in algorithms, and the slippery slope of state overreach. With police and corporations deploying it at scale, should we accept convenience at the cost of civil liberties, or demand stricter safeguards? Some steps such as trying to implement CBDC digital currencies lead to this trying to control what we get, what we spend, why, our savings, and everything on by common social agreement is mine not your. Are we going to 1983or to the “Vendetta”nightmarish” landscape? Is the the future we want?
