Facial Recognition
Facial Recognition
Masks can't protect you from this..... too.
Remember the amazon stores without cashiers? guess how they worked.
TSA said their was optional. TSA doesn’t even care about plain safety these days yk.
Consumer tech aka Face ID works without masks, enterprise tech won’t work with masks? lolllll
They will use facial recognition, it’s time we arm ourselves with some defense.
You can track which stores have implemented face tracking here:

Clothing
You can use anti-paparazzi clothing, reflective material throw the camera off focus and they can’t see the face. But it is pretty easy to tackle this.
Thermal
A quote from a apple post:
The TrueDepth camera captures accurate face data by projecting and analyzing thousands of invisible dots to create a depth map of your face and also captures an infrared image of your face.
Infrared (thermal) is by far the best tracking tech for faces these days. So wearing these glasses can be pretty effective:

But if you know anything about how AI works, you know it can form grids on RGB pictures (normal cameras) and track you from there.
Disguise
so a disguise can be helpful too. Specs, moustache, facial features, cap.
Lights
One more layer of protection can be light emitting from your eyes.
These emit IR waves, but you can’t wear them in the public.
IRIS

Data
The goverments around the world has your pictures, can’t do anything about that please don’t upload your pics on social.
If you have to, you should atleast pass it through
