If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

We are going to be hearing that argument a lot as the AI police state evolves

And you’re not trans. And you don’t perform drag. And you don’t go to an event with a lot of gay people. And you don’t get mistaken for someone because ai isn’t perfect. (Especially if your race doesn’t have many people in the dataset.)

But the people that don’t have anything to fear don’t see anything wrong with “inconveniencing” these groups.

This is the UK, and it's the police controlling these vans. So trans, drag and gay are not at issue here.

And somehow, the countries where it is a problem are never discussed. All muslim countries, for example, almost like not all religions are equal ... if you read hrw or amnesty you'll find that even the most moderate muslim countries like Morocco or Turkey deal violently with sexuality (all forms, really, yes, being trans drag will, of course, attract immediate attention. But let's not pretend they leave public displays of straight sexuality (including subtle and tasteful) alone). And Morocco and Turkey are absolutely nothing like something like Afghanistan or even Iran.

But in the UK the line is drawn pretty damn far. Are you seriously complaining about that?
