It saddens me that the Chinese government must still be so overbearing. I have been hearing about them using facial recognition tech to monitor people on the street, and It just sickens me.

Oh facial recognition tech, hasn’n been in use yet I think, but sooner or later, probably under close development ^^ but really some journalists got blacklisted already, like they can’t buy train tickets etc anymore.

Hmm...now where did I read about them using it. Ugh, the social credit system. Just vile. Those poor journalists.
They are definitely shady this is for sure.

Facial recognition is absolutely in use, especially in places like Xinjiang but even here in Shanghai. There are numerous counts of criminals getting caught in huge crowds thanks to the technology, and even the UK is buying into the technology in hopes of becoming just as dystopian...
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know much about it, I guess it can for sure be used for good intention too! Oh you live in Shanghai?
I'm not sure it's a 'good' that most people in the west are willing to take on... me neither really when there's 26 cameras (I counted) watching me from my 5 minute walk from the metro to my home...
And yep, Downtown shanghai =)
Damn. Not sure I’m gonna enjoy those cams. Have to be a bit more careful vlogging there....

Facial recognition tech is used more and more by the west too. This is happening all over the planet
Not to that extent yet ...
Unfortunately this is true. Glad this stuff was not around when I was young. hahaha.
You don't know much about China if you think the same is happening everywhere.
I never claimed knowledge of China or that things are the same everywhere. Facial recognition tech IS being developed and used in the "west' at a greatly increasing rate though.
"This is happening all over the planet" pretty much sounds like " the same is happening everywhere".
If you say "It's snowing in Beijing" and I say "It's also snowing in New England." Not many people would interpreter that I was claiming the AMOUNT of snow was the same or that I even knew much about how much snow was falling in Beijing.
