Hey Mark, we noticed.
Now more than ever, people have seen the real-world risk of invasive face recognition technology. We won’t lose focus.
Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans
Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Hey Mark, we noticed.
LMAO you couldn't design a better way to get us mad about something than to send a memo saying "EFF is so distracted by the fascism that they won't even notice our horrifying surveillance glasses."
👋 EFF's team of activists, lawyers, and technologists regularly take on multiple threats to digital rights and privacy. We've noticed, we're not distracted, and we'll be fighting back.
Zuck taking advantage of every opportunity, I guess. "World's going to shit? Well, I guess EFF will be too busy opposing fascism to notice that we launched surveillance glasses!"
Cool, cool.
Cool, cool.
