It would be terrible to unmask ICE Agents

Don't publish their names online

It’s guessing at getting it wrong almost half the time. It’s whipping up a lynch mob to divide us against eachother instead of unify us against our enemy.

Way to go AI.

The worst thing for any of them would be if a list of real names and addresses became public. At this point the only thing making the behave unaccountable is anonymity.
Police can never be anonymous.

If the Secret Service, FBI and street cops can all do their 'dangerous jobs' without face coverings, Ice's only excuse is the knowledge that what they do is illegal and they need to skirt accountability.

This shit is just going to get completely 100% innocent people who have absolutely nothing at all to do with ICE attacked. Focus on actually fighting ICE not buying into AI bullshit that will point you at the wrong people.
TrancedJoe
It is perfectly legal to post the ice agents real identities. They do not have protection or anonymity under the law as public servants.
M4UsedRollout
It would be a power move to shout their own names and addresses at ICE. That might get them to leave quick.
FetteredJuvenescence
Post all their names and home addresses!

Sousveillance is incredibly important

Turnabout is fair game. Some ICE officers are using an app on their phone to similarly identify bystanders and witnesses they don't like.

Where u guys submitting your paused and zoomed unmasked fuckers faces to for this? I've got a few on my phone

Had a tough time getting anything useful out of search engines. I'd ask https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org and https://www.iceblock.app if they know how and where to submit your media.

This sort of things gives me pause because the high likelihood of a false match that leads to an innocent person being doxxed, and it's a lot harder to get that cat back into the bag after it's out.

So if what they are doing is just, why are they freaking out about getting unmasked. Before the current Nazi/ Putin occupation of the U.S., ICE agents didn’t wear masks. Aren’t most of these walking piles of used toilet paper contracted bounty hunters and not real agents anyway? Fuck every news outlet that is presenting this program as a threat.
psmith00
if they were doing nothing wrong they wouldn't need to fear their identities being known.

ICE are single-digit IQ THUGS!

Oh no, that’s so bad for them. https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlaTJ3cHZwcjB0dXJvZjVtY3VyeGt1M25yZjM4NDE4bHQ5dXZueTYwdiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/fs2SSoIdEmsi4/200w.mp4

"Skinner acknowledged that the technology is flawed, and he said that about that 60 percent of the AI-generated results and facial recognition searches lead to wrong matches on social media profiles. He says a group of volunteers verifies them through another process before posting any names online."
Hope they get better at this, but maybe it's a hard limit, given how much of the faces is obscured.
GoneSolo
They should cross reference them to people pardoned for Jan 6th.
chackstar
60%? That’s 39.999% better than ICE’s criminal identification rate.
supervillin
I guess, though the better it gets at this, the better it also is at identifying masked protesters for the govt, etc.
L0rdinquisit0r
he is admitting that partial facial reconition does not work, unlike the govt who claims it will stop crime .
AnOceanOfStars
The part that makes me cringe, outside of the ICE context, is that social media are used to get matches for facial recognition (and for a lot of other creepy stuff).
Social media that no one was forced to stuff with their own photos and data, but most people voluntarily did it on their own.
Congrats, you put yourself on a dangerous database by your own choice.
ourari
That used to be true in the early days, but now it sounds a little like victim blaming. These days, if you live in a city or visit a touristy spot, you will be photographed/recorded and uploaded without consent. Add to that all the Ring/Nest/Eufy cameras people put up and you can't even walk outside without being added to some database or another.
AnOceanOfStars
The key is "without consent". And it's just some random pics of you, whereas on social media people put loads of those plus tons of added data.
ourari
It's all but guaranteed that at some point or another, one of your family members or friends shared your face and tied it to your name. Or some hack or data leak provided the link between your face and your name.
