Surely you’re not okay with rampant and pervasive surveillance, are you? Obviously (or so I assume), digiKam isn’t being designed for this purpose. However, by continuing to develop and advocate Facial Recognition, you are contributing to the “normalisation” of something which only a few years ago was justifiably considered to be vile and evil.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 2 Feb 2019, at 11:48, Gilles Caulier <<a href="mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com" class="">caulier.gilles@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le sam. 2 févr. 2019 à 15:52, J Albrecht <<a href="mailto:heviiguy@gmail.com" class="">heviiguy@gmail.com</a>> a écrit :<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="">Have you no shame? <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I cringe every time that I read about Facial Recognition software. You developers are like a bunch of giddy Manhattan Project nerds, gleefully and obliviously participating in the acceleration of our collective doom.

Like you, they see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing because after all, they’re only building and promoting innocuous technology which will benefit “us”. Yeah, right.
