The Covid-19 virus that has become a world health concern has pushed along some other trends such as the replacement of filthy, infected currency with digital money and the wearing of face masks. In reality, face masks were already frequently seen among Asians in America even before the Wuhan flu emerged.
What some people will quickly realize, especially the realistically paranoid, is that wearing a face mask for ostensible health reasons has a possible beneficial side effect. That would be the likelihood that a good face mask might foil AI facial recognition technology without alerting law enforcement. In fact, there's no doubt there are some masked souls in China sporting these protective devices for just that reason.
Further more, as these masks are increasingly donned to prevent the spread of disease they will become items of fashion, like other clothes and accessories. Masks adorned with sequins and other decorations are probably already in use somewhere among the millions in the People's Republic.
In fact, the use of face masks may be the only effective way of foiling the efforts of Clearview AI's attempt to spread facial recognition technology across the world. Some of these might help.
