Exactly. It’s the grey.
The difference is the implementation.
As a victim of assault (in the middle of the day, in a public space) where neither the half dozen cctv cameras, witnesses, security guards knowing and naming the kids, nor police did fuck all to get a resolution, I struggle with these topics. You can have my face in a database but if that information system has poor integration or is badly managed, it’s useless.
Most face-rec nonsense is about selling our habits, and data, to sell us more shit. National security is a joke. The most successfully implemented human-tracking is for the perpetuation of capitalism, not for security.
We’re unlikely to reach a police state, but very likely to reach high levels of control through coercive ‘retail’ strategy.
