This is clearly a proposition intended to remove anonymity from any future shooters in NYC.

You saw the camera footage. It’s as watched as CCTV in London, apparently.

what about schizo people like me who wish to hide their identity so as to not be clobbered by AI facial recognition software?

Tell me about it...if you have certain less obvious disabilities, you are 100% screwed, even in a liberal society.

What?? Why, where and how are masks being banned? Like, face masks?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yes, face masks. Republicans, largely, but some Democrats too.

Citing a flurry of protests on college campuses in recent months, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina last week overrode a veto by the state’s Democratic governor to ban mask wearing in public, with certain exceptions. As part of the new law, people may wear medical masks in public to prevent the spread of illness, but officers and property owners may ask people to remove their masks to verify their identity.

Republican Sen. Buck Newton, a supporter of the bill, said last month, “It’s about time that the craziness is ... at least slowed down, if not put to a stop.”
