Re "The issue is that the descendents of slaves still face a lot of problems stemming from that history"
A constant looking back over history will not help next gen computer code be the best it can.
Ireland a part of the EU will fell the loss as US brands move to other parts of the world.
Then add that nation wide feeling of the EU telling Ireland what to do.
Re "facial recognition wont help with that, any more than photo id"
People have to have some ID going back to a gov issued ID. Thats all that has to be found in anther name. That is not found as it was never created in another database.
Normal citizens will have interconnected federal and state database data set and a few images.
Illegal immigrants, criminals and people trying to create a new fake ID will not have the existing database use to support their new state "issued" ID.
Creating an entire past in the US to build a new ID on with images is more complex as more data sets are getting linked and referenced in real time.
The trick of using a state issued ID to show citizenship is not going to hold for decades federally as it once was expected.
The face has to match every past federal and state ID issued under that name, with the same sets data and as a photo.
Thats a lot of work in 2018 to create or change considering some of the text only data sets of the 1950-70's.
State "issued" ID to create fake citizenship, a life that is not criminal is not going to work as easy as it did in the past once faces have to match a lot of very different databases.
Different state, federal, police, private database set are all getting linked. A person who was ever seen using a different ID set is going to get detected.
For education, work ID, government support payments, opening a bank account, every driver or passenger ever seen in a HIDTA area:) A face at a mall using a different CC.
The 1970-80's privacy laws that kept state and federal databases separated are still law for citizens but can criminals moving around the USA expect to not be found?
Everything is slowly getting connected and will have to match the face on a moving around.
The face is one data set that has to match a past that is spread over city/state and federal networks.
Re "This has nothing to do with the US though."
Just the US brands and US innovation parts.
Once all the EU starts to demand more tax, US brands have the freedom to find better nations with better tax laws.
AC Re The terrorists were had no criminal history.
They usually have support networks, people to get them into a part of a nation.
Cash, a safe place to live and transport. A place of religion that is supportive.
Wider faith based support networks.
All people who show up on CCTV with interesting people.
Illegal migrants who thought their "state" issued ID would always be good enough.
A large amount of tax not paid?
Stayed in the USA past too long as a "tourist"
Working in the USA under the wrong type of visa with photo ID from the place of work?
Wanted criminals who thought their new ID would work in all states and be ready for any federal database.
People using too many different versions of fake ID in different states.
A person who created an new ID back in the 1970's and who used that to collect federal and state ID under that new name.
People who created new state ID and then expect not to get found.
Getting a university education loan under a fake name. Working under a fake name. Working using certifications under a fake name.
Illegal migrants/citizens getting different city/state and federal gov support under different names all over the USA.
Once names, faces and details in a state to get shared all over the USA a lot of past "privacy" that kept databases in a state only will offer no protection for easy fake ID creation.
They stood inline and got to vote.
The votes got counted.
The government then had take on what was voted for and that was passed.
Citizens all over the UK voted to get their laws back from the EU and to fully enjoy been normal nation of laws again.
The US and UK versions would be in nation as far as ip range and in the same language.
The tech used to create content would be perfect and isolated for that nation and mission.
The art work, persona created and time zone spent would often just be strange and the tell the West had rushed into for a few reasons.
The only real tell for US and UK operations was a lack of trusted translators and the ability to quickly create a normal back history of years on another nations version of social media.
Time zone use also matched UK office hours due to the total amount of accounts created, needing the same messages and art work, slogans and not having enough staff with the needed language skills and clearance.
A few people in UK 9-5 office hours got creating too many new regional and language connected accounts to go back and fill in normal account details.
The mission as to get the slogan out and people protesting via social media.
A name with no face, no past but urging people to join a slogan with a banner and art work in the local language kind of stands out.
Again and again with protest slogans and links to safe "free" proxy and VPN like services to join the protest.
Also accounts that just resurfaced that a nations rather telco skilled security services could not "contain".
Accounts that only joined just as a protest movement started and only repeated protest slogans.
The next steps for the West is a lot more translators. A lot more staff to work non UK 9 to 5 shifts to blend in with a local time zone.
The ability to totally create an entire back history with images, events and a past online history of an account to make the account seem "human" for that region.
From within that social media product and searches on US "search" engines. Back dated to show they have history on the site.
An advanced trick usually saved for embassy staff with a very fake resume and an under cover mission. So their searchable created past is back dated on the real time "internet".
Expect a lot better online profiles and images, photo history.
Down to hair cut, fashion for that nation, slang, years of account use and then post on regime change, protest movements.
The next issue is the face for a profile. Get that reverse look up wrong and a very local person is suddenly a citizen all over long lost social media in the UK, USA?
That was my point... time to start winning wars and securing the fronts...
When the enemy still has the freedom to move around and act, that's not winning.
The past decades of mil command is looking for another tech solution to a very old mil problem.
At some stage the war has to be won and that needs the mil ability to totally stop the enemy from moving around and doing what they want...
AC why not just have a real front line tank drive in front of the convoy?
The US has a lot of tanks ready for duty and its factory production of new tanks has not halted.
That like totally protected.
Tanks can drive on normal roads for hours and hours right?
That would need some sort of driver deep in an immersive simulation of the road as seen from the very front of the convoy.
They would have to get every turn.
Waiting for the recovery of the first and following vehicles after a wrong turn is going to be a long wait while at war.
Spare a drone in the area for hours? A helicopter to stay flying around and around for hours?
Open the safe and read Plan R.
Circle the remaining working robot trucks and wait.

Thou shalt have no other political parties before me.

No more work in the USA so no more industrial exposure to investigate.

Citizens all over the UK got to vote. Their vote counted to exit the EU.
The citizens of the UK informed their gov and the EU that they did not want to stay in the EU. By voting.
The next step after the vote by citizens was going to parliament... that exit part got passed by gov too.
Why is democracy a bad "idea" AC? Citizens got asked a question and the government had to respect that vote on leaving the EU.
The end users are the people paying to place ads.
