Mask up to stop the spread! 😂
America's National Football League "is the latest organization to turn to facial authentication to bolster event security," reports the Record, citing a new announcement this week:
All 32 NFL stadiums will start using the technology this season, after the league signed a contract with a company that uses facial scans to verify the identity of people entering event venues and other secure spaces.
The facial authentication platform, which counts the Cleveland Browns' owners as investors, will be used to "streamline and secure" entry for thousands of credentialed media, officials, staff and guests so they can easily access restricted areas such as press boxes and locker rooms, Jeff Boehm, the chief operating officer of Wicket, said in a LinkedIn post Monday. "Credential holders simply take a selfie before they come, and then Wicket verifies their identity and checks their credentials with Accredit (a credentialing platform) as they walk through security checkpoints," Boehm added.
Wicket technology was deployed in a handful of NFL stadiums last year as part of a pilot program. Other stadiums will start rolling it out beginning on Aug. 8, when the pre-season kicks off. Some teams also have extended their use of the technology to scan the faces of ticket holders. The Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and New York Mets all have used the company's facial authentication software to authenticate fans with tickets, according to Stadium Tech Report. "Fans come look at the tablet and, instantly, the tablet recognizes the fan," Brandon Covert, the vice president of information technology for the Cleveland Browns, said in a testimonial appearing on Wicket's website. "It's almost a half-second stop. It's not even a stop — more of a pause."
"The Browns also use Wicket to verify the ages of fans purchasing alcohol at concession stands, according to Wicket's LinkedIn page," the article points out.
And a July report from Privacy International found that 25 of the top 100 soccer stadiums in the world are already using facial recognition technology.
NOT ATTENDING NFL GAMES STREAK CONTINUES
I firmly believe that if 2020 wasn’t such a shit show, the XFL might have begun to force change in the NFL. It had so much momentum and was a great product, imo.
I love football, but I swear the nfl is doing everything in its power to make me give it up. I cannot stand the decisions that organization makes on a regular basis.
🤣🤣🤣
They think they are going to catch divergent activity from simps who fall for the bread and circus? That's adorable. #privacy #nostr
It’s not just the NFL and it’s pretty awful https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/madison-square-garden-face-recognition-illegal-new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james/
Fuck the game.
Bring back the covid masks and some pairs of shades
Too bad about the 4th quarter. And yet with a little time left, we pulled it out. Only to lose it in the last second. Only to get it back. Only. To. Lose. It. AGAIN
For what purpose? Security?
They're not scanning everyone, only people who need access to restricted areas. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202407/wicket-facial-authentication-rolling-out-at-all-nfl-stadiums-starting-aug-8
Still concerning, because maybe an entrance to some restricted area is off of a main hallway and it's nabbing everyone walking by.
But yeah, this is Twitter people hungry for attention, posting things that aren't accurate to get people fired up, followed by other people reposting it without bothering to see if it's true.
That makes a lot more sense. Thanks!
Here it will take 35 seconds to see how misleading that claim is.

It is for credentialed personal with access to restricted areas.
yeah totally misleading and they are definitely not practicing incrementalism because, like, everyone is just doing their best.
thanks mom.
for a second I was panicked, thinking we were on the edge of a totalitarian technocratic police state where the european people were being displaced with the goal of eradication.
thanks for helping us all to dial it back a few notches!
😉💯
time to get the burka out 🥷

Man that’s crazy. I did, did you?
Maybe there is some utility for covid masks after all. 😷
Are you ready for some football?
"If you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide"
If I'm doing nothing wrong I have no reason to lose my individual sovereignty over my life, which is maintained through privacy. I am not a fan of this increasing surveillance state, thankfully Bitcoin robs the governments of the source of their power (monetary debasement) which is what enables them to be able to afford to have a surveillance state. #Graduallythensuddenly #fixthemoneyfixtheworld

If you read the actual announcement/article this is a lie. No that is not what they are doing. It is being used for CREDENTIALED PERSONAL FOR ACCESS TO RESTRICTED AREAS, not everyone at the game.
A society that only reads headlines is a society of retards intent on proving the prophecy of Idiocracy.

Today it seems way more important to be outraged than to be accurate.
Did the game track you last night?
Boycott the NFL!!!
