Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

Photoprism on default settings merged like 5 people into one because it was all trained on a predominant NA population.

Google photos has had similar results even with tuning the algorithm.

So best case they throw innocent people in jail without trial and worst case they just continue to shoot innocent people anyway.
