@fj Could you please add alt text to this image? There are blind and low vision users that rely on this to understand what a post is. Right now, a screenreader will just show this as "image" with no explanation of what it is.

Here's some alt text you can use:

A photo of person person of color in their car being scanned with a phone app to analyze his face via a facial recognition app that says "searching face".

The german administration and police can‘t wait to use it.

@fj

ALT TEXT:

A gloved hand holds a smart phone showing the face of a man in a car.

@fj Racial profiling.

@fj
There's a lovely German word for such people: Schreibtischtäter.

A bit tricky to pronounce to integrate it into everyday modern American English, but seeing the need for succinct call-outs rising, please consider establishing it as a new loan word.

There's more what that came from, too!

@fj

Thanks for mentioning _IBM & the Holocaust_ earlier this year & again. I've mentioned that book in talks for years — not just for its content, but for the meta-issue: #IBM's (relatively successful) PR campaigns to keep the book & its research marginalized.

>20 years later, $PLTR does not even *need* to use PR to discredit those documenting Karp's willingness to do evil with code (if the price is right). It's just widely considered standard operating procedure in Big Tech. 😩

I was about to mention IBM, then I scrolled down. History is certainly rhyming 😢

@fj I guess at least some of them would not see the problem at gunpoint.
