Sex workers fight against facial recognition

[Rochelle]

Sex Workers Are at the Forefront of the Fight Against Mass Surveillance and Big Tech

The normalization of facial recognition technology and mass surveillance being used to target marginalized communities, whether in the hopes of “saving them” or not, is dangerous.

@Mrs Langtrees made me read this article. I was going through an perceived this is about Sex law and how it is not helping the sex workers against sex trafficking. But i really didn't understand how this is related to face recognition

 

[Timboh66]

The article appears to be suggesting that by using the internet and posting facial images, sex workers could face increased discrimination due to the fact that online service providers may use technology to identify and ban these sex workers from their sites/services.

Also, there may be the risk that these identities and this data is passed onto law enforcement agencies, resulting in greater scrutiny and persecution/prosecution.

Governments will implement laws to keep sex workers safe/protect them from sex trafficking and violence. Surveillance cameras to monitor, Identification cards and microchipping. Governments know what is best for citizens by implementing laws to secure and protect citizens from crime. New technology and surveillance will ensure the government is watching 24/7.

I think the movement will be away from full face photos for all sex workers shortly. Once a image is out there it can never be removed totally, I think the clients will have to accept that a working lady should not show here face so she can have a life after sex work.

@Mrs Langtrees that's correct i see.

Once that happens, the game is over... as for an image being out there yep that is right, so work as an escort in your 20's leave the game, wish to move into a different role and these can be found... and what about you have kids, kids at school find mommys pics online... yo your momma jokes start... this online world may have dire effects maybe not so much in a boom time, but when things slow down thats when it hits..

It would be absolute social & career suicide 4 a working girl to show her face on the internet.
End of story

As I understood it is also possible to identify individuals through their walking style, ratio of length of walk and so on. The face is just where humans usually put their focus.

Yes this is also true but prospective employers and or partners would not have access to this information whereas a picture of an ex working girls face is simple 2 find if it has been previously plastered all over the internet

White knight men impose laws to protect women from the evil men of this world. The white knights are often more controlling, abusive and are manipulative wolves in sheeps clothing. The white knights often have skeletons in their closet and put on a facade of being holier than thou but they hide their true intentions.

Thankyou for bringing this to my attention as I did not know anything about the case in Victoria although there is a questions about the Claremont hotel in south yarra Vic I would this what its all about

I can't help but see the irony in this. Sex workers have long fought for their jobs to be made legal - i.e. their rights to be recognized but they don't want their face recognized.

You know the funniest thing is is... A Wl wants to hide and blur her face in images, but how many do that, but expose Tattoos, now a face can change but a Tattoo can't now can they...
