BEIJING — Feel like going to the park? Well, if you're in lovely Beijing, then you may need to get a facial recognition scan first. <br />According to the ultra-CCP-friendly Global Times, Beijing park management d-bags said they may establish a blacklist using AI security cameras to ban uncivilized visitors from entering. <br />Over the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday weekend, parks in Beijing saw a big uptick in visitors, which apparently led to a whole bunch of less than exemplary behaviour. <br />Looks as if some Chinese people were seen climbing peach trees, picking flowers and damaging plants. <br />There were also people fishing near a lake where it's prohibited, as well as people selling things in the park without the proper permits. <br />Officials think the facial recognition cameras will help detect all the detrimental behavior, so that it can be snuffed out. Good luck with that. <br />China has placed itself at the forefront of super creepy facial recognition technology in order to keep its nose in everyone's business. <br />So, if you're living in China, relax and rest assured, someone is watching.
