For now at least AI is really bad with beards. All the ones I've run into are anyway. Beards of any length--now that I've cut mine down some I don't have the same problems so they've improved or it's the length.
My bet is it still thinks it's the back of your head and weighs that too heavily.
That and eyes. It's always asking me to open my eyes wider.
So grow a beard and walk around with your eyes shut.
Or, be dead. Or, following research by @timnitGebru and others: be female or a racial minority. Then you will be seen as a wildcard and matched with other females and minorities at random. They decided to do the Spartacus movie scene for you.
I recall an old time radio scifi story where folks would put on their "public face" before leaving the house... I assume they were dealing with this surveillance BS.
Could the english have a cultural control kink? They began the panopticon cctv crap looong before anyone else, doubling down without a blink ever since.
might be that monarchy 'god save our hereditary ruler' stuff is behind their ingrained submissiveness to authority, idk? Kinda rubbed off on a lot of their lost colonies too, I mean look at the US these days, just squawking, all while knuckling under while the noose of fascism tightens
So if there's no other way to get to the other side of the street and I literally work at the end of the block, do I tell my boss I won't be in today because the only way I can opt out is to not go to work?
Why is everyone acting like this is a new thing?? Been going on for like 20+yrs now, at least here in the US. This is a result of what started in the name of "protection" not the beginning.

Is it limited to recognizing the faces of police?
If Badge_Detected == 'Y'
Then
Maximize_Privacy_Invasion(Object)
Else
Delete_image(Object)
End
Then it might work.

There is no legal requirement for you to be in the public space. If you are, you automatically consent.

Apparently serendipity is working in my favor. I have some ideas about foiling the Panopticon.
