A Wanted Man in China Has Been Caught Because of Facial Recognition Software (fastcompany.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The man was reportedly caught after facial recognition software running on cameras at a concert identified him, reports AbacusNews. That's despite there being over 50,000 people attending the concert, which took place in Nanchang, China. Law enforcement in the country has increasingly been turning to facial recognition software to surveil the public for persons of interest.
why did I reference sit ins if I am ignoring agent provocateurs?
You do realize the entire point of a sit in is to prevent that sort of thing?
If everyone is sitting down, how do you "agent provocateur"?
Just schedule a protest, have everyone show up with water and food for themselves. And then sit down. Everyone sits down.
The cops will generally leave you alone because you pose no particular threat and the optics of a police officer messing with peaceful people sitting down is terrible.
Disruptors can't blend into the crowd or do violent stuff and then run away because the actual protestors are all sitting down. There is no crowd to blend into.
This is not hard. But lets not pretend that these protests are only turning violent by accident. People are showing up to them with weapons, body armor, etc. They want a fight.
Organize and then sit down. You'll have no trouble. Its really really easy. And the groups that don't do that and have problems are either too stupid to do something so easy or lying about wanting no violence. Because its that easy. Sit down.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
Yes because the Chinese government would never lie to their citizens. Do me a favor the next time your in China and look up N, Tiananam square incident, or Falun Gong organ harvesting without a VPN. You will find out just how willing the Chinese government is to lie about obvious verifiable facts to their populous. In short you are so wrong.
FYI the Chinese government didn't have to mail a certified letter they could have used their certified state sponsored media.
