Thanks for the sources.

30%? Yea. Gonna need a source on that one, friend.

Dude. The government already has this data if you have any kind of social media presence and plenty of licenses for everything from Clearview to briefcam and anything in between. Your phone provides more usable intel on you than any biometric marker could hope to achieve (given the state of the tech)The problem isn’t the tool. The problem is that the regulations around the usage of that data, particularly by law enforcement, are basically nonexistent. More laws need to be in place to meet minimum viable standards of efficacy (because police can lower recognition thresholds, get a match, and use that as a lead) and what situations they CAN use it in. I think people overestimate how much the government tracks it’s citizens (most of us aren’t interesting), and underestimates how often they’re tracked and manipulated by apps on their phone.

Can this guy just fuck off and do his goddamn job?

Then, they’ll solve the whole police brutality thing.

Police are useless in the overwhelming majority of cases. Why they get $11b/yr is beyond me.

Maybe it’s both

Civilizations grow with time, otherwise we’d still have slavery in the US/Europe. It’s time for the Olympics to grow with the rest of society and stand up against a genocide and illegal occupation

No it wouldn’t. Plenty of other jobs have been affected by the sanctions. What makes athletes special? They can run faster on a track than others, or throw a rock farther than others?

I’ll go ahead and emphatically disagree. Plenty of other jobs have been impacted in Russia due to sanctions. Being an athlete doesn’t make one special. They can deal with their country’s politics if they don’t like it.

This

Yea. I’m not intelligent enough to understand your title, friend.
