A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

This is why some UK leaders wanted out of EU, to make their own rules with way less regard for civil rights.
It’s the Tory way. Authoritarianism, culture wars, fucking over society’s poorest.
nah i think main thing was a super fragile identity. i mean they have been shit all the time since before EU. when talks between france,germany and uk took place the insisted to take control of EU.
if you live on an island for generations with limited new genetic input…well, thats where you end up.
We humans have these things called “boats” that have enabled the British Isles to receive regular inputs of new genetic material. Pretty useful things, these boats, and somewhat pivotal in the history of the UK.
sure
I don’t understand the tendency to attribute harmful behaviours of the rich and powerful to these strange, irrational reasons. No, UK leaders didn’t spend millions upon millions on propaganda because they have a fragile identity. They did it because they’ll make money off of it, and will be able to move the legislation towards their own goals.
It’s the same when people say Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union. No, he doesn’t care about any of that, he cares about staying in power and becoming more powerful. One of the best ways to do so is to invade other countries, as long as you don’t lose.
Thank you. I see so many people who don’t get it. I’m happy some people understand it without sending them link to one of few Ekaterina Shulman’s lectures in English.
Thank you for the validation, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy with how often these things are repeated.
But those lectures do sound interesting - would you mind linking them when you have the time?
This is not the lecture I originally intended to post. Also small correction for 1:00:02 first answer in poll should be translated as “social fainess”.
If you find lecture where she says about “dealing with internal problems by external means” and “dropping concrete slab on nation’s head” - that is one I intended to link, but still searching which one it is.
Awesome, thank you!

Literally the most diverse country in Europe lol
Nah the core drivers wanted their own little neoliberal haven where they didn’t have to listen to the EU. They’d have been rich either way, but this way they get more power.
