Mickey Mouse is watching you: Disneyland deploys facial recognition

Next: Netflix deploys facial recognition, to prevent account sharing fraud.

There’s a big wall around the park too.

It's super creepy how this garbage gets rolled out. The value proposition of going to these parks is "have fun and enjoy this." But if you bought a pass and then you found out you'd have to go through this.. what do you do? The annoyed and condescending employee will grief you into complying.

There are many ways to solve this problem, but this approach is the most friendly to the owners.

This is a hard no for me to consider giving that mouse money.

Ugh! How much fraud occurs at Disneyland? I would be shocked if there isn't a third reason they are not making clear. We desperately need to put up a fight early on with this technology as it's unreliable and just not needed, and it will only cause negatives long term. For anyone who says but it won't be an issue for many; well that's the exact status quo we have now, so it's really only to get worse overall.
