It is being called “cv dazzle” to defeat facial recognition like that used by Facebook.

I’m wondering if anyone has experience using this in protest, or if you’ve heard local coverage about it?

    This is saying they can map thermal to known faces. But this is far from being able to read faces through materials. Thermal/infrared doesn’t provide that kind functionality, at least to my knowledge the signal would bleed into the mask. It could work for glasses or maybe thin masks.

      Look, the government lies and lies some more. This would be damning if people realize they have this stuff. That article is from 2018, they just aren’t telling you or anyone else over a megaphone.
