My girlfriend shared an instructional e-mail how we can enter the swimming pool with facial recognition at our next campspot…

Me: 😬

I even don’t trust / use this on my smartphone…

And no way I’m opting in on this for my daughters.

How should I approach this? I need to keep it gentle…holidays 😅

That sucks, good luck fren 👊🫶🤷‍♂️

Swim in a lake or at beach instead, nature doesn’t require faceID.

I misread this as she was showing you how to get around the facial recognition software at the pool and was very confused at the end of the first read.

I'm guessing there's not much protesting or picketing in your family, because that seems like the obvious risk.

Maybe something like "that facial recognition data might later be used to log into bank accounts, and if the swimming pool systems get hacked, that could be bad/we'll be glad we didn't use that system."

If you need some examples on publuc cameras thay got hacked, I can dig up some on ALPR data breaches. It's not exactly the same, but a concrete example can sometimes help show people that these types of concerns are not merely hypothetical.

Have her change the flat tire.

print faces that they can use to bypass the facial

also (I am speaking to myself here as well) relax and remember "when u are in public you're a sneaky smart spy, not a renegade freedom fighter"

Just pull out the old masks/chin diapers and be a pain in the ass about it.

But seriously i don't think the camp staff means to do anything malicious. They have just been convinced that this system is actually attractive for people, which is true for most people unfortunately. They would gladly have a camera put in their face so that some system will open a gate for them like magic.

The issue they're trying to solve here is probably some people sneak on the campsite and swim for free. If they don't want that they could have used any other method, but facial recognition just seems convenient to most people and until we suffer some really big problems from this people will keep on giving it away for free.

Maybe you can have a conversation with the wife and explain it to her. She's such an integral part of your life that you should be able to explain to her why she should at least think about it twice..
