    Napkin maths time: 99.98% accuracy, 50k alerts ≃ Facewatch is responsible for the slander of at least a thousand people per month.

    But whoever created such system doesn’t care, right? No, because systems like this are designed and used by psychopaths who don’t get that people aren’t just numbers. They only see a failure rate of 0.02%, assume “that’s fine lol”, and if necessary “you” aren’t doing shit, “it’s the bot lmao”.

    Fuck all this shit. At those times I’m kind of glad to live in the third world, it means this sort of bullshit takes a wee bit to come here. And if it did I’d seriously avoid any shop with it.
