Listen "Evading Facial Recognition Methods and Technologies"
Episode Synopsis
The provided YouTube video from the "Business Reform" channel discusses the widespread use of facial recognition technology by various entities, including retailers, social media apps, and even new vehicles, often without consumer knowledge. It explains the five-step process of facial recognition, highlighting that interfering with feature extraction around the eyes offers the best opportunity to defeat these systems. The video then differentiates between normal cameras and infrared (IR) cameras, emphasizing that many facial recognition systems utilize IR light, which can penetrate regular sunglasses. Finally, the presenter shares personal tests demonstrating how IR-blocking glasses and super-reflective hats can prevent an iPhone's facial recognition from working, though he notes these methods require further testing against more sophisticated systems.
