The London Riots and Facial Recognition Technology

nonprofiteer writes "A bunch of vigilantes are organizing a Google Group dedicated to using recently revealed facial recognition tools to identify looters in the London riots. While Vancouver discussed doing something similar after the Stanley Cup riots, the city never actually moved forward on it. Ring of Steel London, though, is far more likely to incorporate FRT into its investigative work." A related article points out how development of face-recognition technology has been kept under wraps by some organizations, but we're getting to the point where it'll soon be ubiquitous.

Hi! :)

You seem to be trying to use a word that you don't really understand [wikipedia.org].

Would you like me to...

1. Find close matches in the dictionary, based on the first few letters...?

2. Find likely synonyms in a thesaurus, based on context...?

3. Fill in some garbage that means nothing but sounds good so people might not quite so easily cop to the fact that you're a functionally illiterate racist moron...?
