Moscow's Facial Recognition Tech Will Outlast the Coronavirus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2020
- MOSCOW - The Russian capital is home to a network of 178,000 surveillance cameras. Thousands of these cameras are already connected to facial recognition software under a program called “Safe City.” Police claim the technology has helped arrest more than 300 people.
Now, as part of the response to COVID-19, authorities are trying to bring every surveillance camera into the facial recognition network. This Orwelian step is supposedly to catch people breaking quarantine.
At the end of January, before Moscow had any confirmed cases of coronavirus, the city purchased the latest version of NTechLab’s facial recognition software.
They claim their software can identify a face even when 40% or more of it is covered. We tried it, and even in a balaclava it still recognized a face.
When asked, Co-founder Artyom Kukharenko failed to make the connection between his powerful software and mass surveillance.“Why should it be used for mass surveillance I don't understand?”
“When the system becomes more transparent to the majority of city residents, this fear will go away” he continued.

The lockdowns will eventually lift, but the widespread use of facial recognition technology in Russia is here to stay, making 2020 look more and more like 1984.

Please talk about Trump trying to get rid of the US postal service
Ok, one more portion of old-fashioned anti-Russian propaganda by Vice News.
Let's see:
Russia - 144 confirmed cases per million citizens
USA - 1841 cases per million
>1.6 million tests made in Russia.
Such measures are saving lives everyday and every hour, right now.
Seems Vice are concerned about not too much deaths in Russia? And why don't you ask people from the other side? Much more people are grateful for such measures. Ridiculous one-hand, one eye, one point of view pseudo news channel.
No...more like 2304 total future and NWO
Good video apart from the Apple advertising. Please blank out these logos.
What happened extra in 1984???
This is being implemented in all over the world: from the US to South America, from European countries to the ones in North Africa.
Che triste !
lol those things wont last a month with our crackheads over here
Buy a high powwered lazer and lets get to work
ahhh wait,, u say america? this is not available in america
@Buffalo Rider i came here to say that. This is the real danger of 5g. The processing speed to track everyone in the world
I feel bad for future generations they will be living in a Orwellian nightmare
Do not feel bad for them. The kids in "1984" were happy. They spied on each other as a "sport" and non-challantly denounce and send their parents to reformation camps. It will be your nightmare, for them just life.
@@Desavenencia that hurt
We need to fight it
We're living here already. Hello from Moscow.
I've read this book before.
1984
Doublespeak.

We've always been at peace with Oceania
Correct, we have the cctv footage to confirm it... 😳
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." - Geroge orwell
Reading the book right now.
Yeah, that's why the US despite being one of the heavy users is never mentioned in the media.
The U.S. Department of State operates one of the largest face recognition systems in the world with a database of 117 million American adults
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_recognition_system#United_States
Ray yeah, except, according to your source, the US uses existing photos from stuff like driver’s licenses in combination with facial recognition software for mostly investigative purposes (rather than what seems to be active monitoring in some places).
@@brotimes7879 haha.
The whole book is so actual. I can’t believe how prophetic he was.
" One who sacrifices privacy, for security, deserves neither. "
Well said Government is not God and never will be who are they to tell me how to live my life they are mere mortals just like me they are delusional they are corrupted if they tell us how to live our lives
Time to leave this place and seek the rainbow boots
@@mishaeldank9974 looks like your also delusional tho, for real LOL
I support CCTV because it helps police find serial killers and rapist since it give's them a lead in the case. it also helps make the world a safer place since A'lot of people dont commit crimes because of the fear of going to prison, not because they're good people.
@@batissta44 nah man, I install secutiry cameras at commercial businesses. within the first week a just released inmate threayned a store owner and punched him and ran away, got his license plate and he was arrested a week later. not only that but I have footage of people breaking in stores with sparkplugs breaking glass and hit and run incidents. people are idiots you can put a camera right in front of them they do not notice
Giving up privacy for safety, you deserve neither.
Those that give up an essential liberty for temporary safety. Deserve liberty nore safety.
Yeah that’s not how the real world works. Whoever said that was not a very intelligent person.
@@chepushila1 Benjamin Franklin said that ! Read up !
They deserve liberty more safely
Grunger These cameras are in public places though. Its not like they’re in peoples’ houses/private property.
Everybody should read "1984" by Novelist George Orwell once in their lives
for sure brother, #EURASIA is taking shape out of chaos, c this: ordoabchao.ca
Big Brother is watching you
Why read it? We are already living it...
Justin Escobar Ayeeee my English classes made us read those. I actually read them cuz it’s interesting lol
why? its overrated and not even that good
Dystopia is upon us.
Already happened, called NSA

It is already upon us. It is too late
We've been in dystopia since before any of us were born & you'd be a fool to think otherwise
Kevin true

I occasionally get philosophical...
Literally every major city in the world has this kind of tech even if they don’t if you’re trying to hide from a government you can be found anyway
@@nom_chompsky Actually, he's right. Every major city on Earth has implemented some form of this technology.
@Darnell T. He doesn't *have* to live in a city.
Is in every continent already
This is why you move countryside :) No pollution, no surveillance cameras, no rush, not millions of people around all the time, not just grey concrete around you.
How about u.s., phone tracking and outlawing end to end encryption, do a story on our governments jump to use any catastrophe to strip our civil rights
Brett Manning that’s exactly what will happen. I had an incident happen at walmart with a stranger who was really watching my 3 year old. i posted it on fb 3 days later because i didn’t know if i was being crazy or what. same day i had an detective call me, he told me he was following me on the camera and reviewing the footage. keep in mind, I never posted what time I went. nor what day.
Hartleymolly what?
As you stare into your iPhone you are getting facial recognition surveillance all throughout the day every day
Lugubriously they still know your tracks
Lugubriously if you don’t use face ID
@Lugubriously don't forget to tape the mic too. they're listening either
Lugubriously you are the few
Apple is not making it available to anybody.
1984 anyone?
Big brothers watching
since 9/11 in the USA. you're untied their hands twenty years ago.
Its literally in description you're not special
London has a much bigger system. Had it almost for a decade.
Bigger, better, safer, and no one cares, unless ur a criminal.
@@sayit2198 great idea....will come in handy when everything is owned by China.
@@resiktd1944 are you saying that china will invade? Or hack?
It's good when the west does it
@@resiktd1944 OR are you saying Russia should install more camera for England/Usa to use?
This is exactly what I feared would happen. Authoritarian regimes using the coronavirus as a pretext to take away basic human rights.
They’re gonna bring this to America
USA already have Face-1984-Book, Goo-(all-your-life-is-ours)-gle, BigBrother-Apple.
You have hundreds of millions of those within the. continental US...didn’t you know?
The way the government spies on your privacy if you’re an American citizen is outrageous tbh...they not only have the facial recognition technologies but they apply it to phones and computers and also al your data and what it’s transmitting to the satellites.
Never in our history as a civilization have we ever had such extreme measures of privacy exploit for a state.
@@user-hk8yp7cw1v don't forget they are listen to each of your word even when your phone is turned off, and selling to you again and again all the time it is turned on. depending on all the things you said, where you said, time when you said and people where near when you said it
San Diego already has cameras and microphones hidden all around. General Electric’s behind it, and some politician in the County Board was a shareholder too
I was just gonna say this.
Definitely a double edged sword. This can be a great tool for catching criminals but it's also very likely to be misused and abused.
I would go beyond using the phrase "very likely" and say it's certain it will be abused
nah its a pretty fucking single edged sword. Governments and political parties will use this to destroy freedom of speech, expression, and action.
I don't think this tech was meant to catch criminals!
Government can make a criminal out of anybody...
You people dont fucking realize it. We NEED crime.
Ironic Edward Snowden hides there
This happened after Snowden came.
Is it possible that even if a potato walked up to that door, it would open? A better test would be unauthorized people walking up too...
It most probably is just for demo purposes, and has a high acceptance rate to appear working better than it actually is. But, the camera is pretty close, probably very high definition, and facial features around the eyes are pretty unique, so the truth lays in between.
When the system its used against politicians.. that when they will complain
This stuff LITTERALLY makes me wanna cry. NEVER TRADE LIBERTY FOR SAFETY!
This reminds me of a scene from life is strange. You play as a student and you basically had a choice if you wanted to sign up the school for a surveillance camera in every class room and all around the school for security reasons
Google and apple working on something like this for the virus
Google keeps tracking our medical records and history
I know they will track us all the time soon
@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw yes they are, they said that they were building new social distancing tracker on phones. which i'm pretty sure is code for another tracker
PROVE IT NOW
WITH A LINK
Dont we already have this in the USA? Arent these what the fusion centers are for? Whats the difference in the USA?
it is much more widely spreaden in the USA
Well in Russia they dont have Amazon ring bell yet.
Bill Binney, watch his videos
California has an elaborate system of this and are currently using it. Also yes you can make it that the cam doesnt recognize your face but it doesnt change body movement tracking and travel pattern tracking
"everywhere you go you are watched" that reminds me of an English city..
No, in russian criminals use the cameras to spy on u while u pee against a tree!
I mean as Long u dont do anything bad why would the cameras brother u?
I would feel save around them i dont care if Somebody spys on me lol...
@Truth Telling Shit Poster Whats so bad about london?
@@bonaccio The problem is when the government decides what is bad, they can arrest you for whatever they want. If someone bad gets into government leadership, we can't fight back with this technology in place.
@Central Intelligence Agency We need to fight back
"Big Brother" has nothing at all to do with some reality tv show
This IS Big Brother like. Scary shit that ppl think this is actually a good idea
You Wish Of course it is a good idea. It reduces crime and allows the government to have more control. Those are good things.
@@chepushila1 wwwoooowww.
Your government most be the Avengers.
Nice :)
@@chepushila1 damn you are brainwashed,RIP
Central Intelligence Agency yea but theres no privacy like facebook and instagram, but then theres no privacy in walking outside and instantly being id’d by criminals and alerts and all that nonsense, atleast with facebook and instagram you have to install, hit allow and actually use to collect data not just walk outside and boom
About 25% of the population are happy to abdicate authority to a dictator at any time. You have to remember that an IQ of 100 (not very special) is average
2020 is looking more like 1984
Checks and balances are so important. This is insane.

Upton Sinclair - 'It is difficult to get a man to *understand* something, when his salary depends on his *not understanding it.*
Nice video VICE.
Our future involves us hiding our faces in public
Well... Mask are pretty convenient for that
Need these cameras in ever public office and police station watching them
yes this is what I’m seeing so far:
Person + outside = prison
Prison • person = more cases
🤦🏻♂️ im done with this planet
Reminds me of 'Minority Report', starring Tom Cruise.
So is it just really recognizing the eye area of the face.
Yes but they don't tell people that's how it works... Eyballs are like fingerprints, unique to each individual
@@woodjones5702 exactly. want to stay out of detection? cover your eyes.
@Darnell T. don't be a dingus man the virus is very real and they suggest wearing masks to help stop the spread. How would telling people to wear masks help their identification process? Your eyes are exposed with or without A mask that makes no sense brother. Wearing masks is a legitimate way to combat the virus.
The Texas Tickler think he as making a joke
apeshit clothing Naah he’s for real. People think this is for martial law
But also western countries have facial recognition systems that they also usually claim they are used for the same purpose to prevent crime but we all know its used this way too.
this NEEDS to Stop
That will be coming here to the U.S.A. sooner than you think
since 9/11 in the USA, twenty years
i wouldnt be suprised at all that it is already here my g
You should research the Patriot Act lol
Sooo will it detect if you have a warrant?
🤣🤣
So can we talk about how hilariously low impact that paper cup was?
*ORWELL!* 😱😱😱
With every new technology there is a "criminal" who will figure out how to get past it, don't you worry
sidjt
That criminal would be smarter and smarter as technology improves and eventually freedom would be criminal
2:46 I respect her for trying I truly do
Cheap respect.
@@TylerSolvestri hahaha
I remember the app (just about a year ago) that made people's faces old, I heard that app was from Russia?
YOU'RE AWESOME da
I always knew that was some sort of trap. Probably captured everyone's data just in case they ever needed it to find people in the future or perhaps hunting for certain people and using their relatives as possible training for the aio to see what they would look like? Not sure but it was up to zero good
Lol Moscow has over 100k cameras...
New York & LA: hold my shit real quick
It's not just them. Every country now.
Understand as soon as you download an App with filters you no longer have privacy 🤣
It doesn't seem too different from us in the US except we like to hide ours.
1:34 Puts on Balaclava 5 feet away from Camera, walks towards Camera with Balaclava on 5 seconds later "it still got me"
1:39
after a little bit of trying
it still got me - means it tripped it up
so there ya go ski mask give you a chance to not be recognized
but it can also go by the way you walk so gotta switch that up
walk with a limp
1:13 dude got that angry meme cat sticker on his laptop
Why the focus on Moscow? This is going to be EVERYWHERE and will NOT end EVER.
1:38 the trick here is to see if it will recognize if you put a piece of paper over your face with someone else's faces printed on it. Almost all facial rec. program will still let them in...
Looks like it's reflective tape and sunglasses, and gravel in the shoes for the next little while, folks!
Remember that one bank robber who used a highly realistic mask Hollywood mask. Yay I do.
All i know is money heist
Yes but that mask was very expensive but if you wear a hoodie everywhere you probably can’t be detected
1:41 my man got the pro gamer chair lmao
My country definitely needs this
You can go to the most remote mountain range in the world and can still be tracked from above, privacy is a illusion.
bro this is old technology Americas been doing this for like 10 years already
And it’s linked to your Facebook and that’s how they identify you
Vice coming back with real journalism!!
What was snowden trying to tell.... Why was assange jailed...... Vice at very high level of hypocrisy 😂😂😂... Like America doesn't knows the Orwellian things.....
They’ve always been watching .
Cover your eyes & around them with sunglasses & the system won't work !!! I know I helped device these software
you will get arrested like the protesters with just paint intheir face ;)
if thats true they will just ban sunglasses and if you are caught with ones you will get fined or be arrested
I think making a baseball cap with led lights on the brim also works . Shines light on your face makes you a ghost.
@@Amplexius protesters were arested not for painting their face. they're breaking the law.
Lmao!!!! Bullshit you helped make the software.
This tech is everywhere, at least they have the guts to say we are implementing it tbh
Yes guys, we live here
Guaranteed US, Canada & Europe been using this for years
SCARY. STOP FUNDING THESE COMPANIES THAT MAKE THIS CRAP.
so this is how our freedom dies with with thunderous applause
This is terrifying.

I’m sure Kim Jong Un is frothing at the mouth about this.
Oh that explains all these weird towers that have popped up in the last 3yrs. I'd also like to point out that China has this same system in place right now as we speak.
London has had it since 2010
next we’ll have a camera in our homes... remember remember the 5th of november

@@chepushila1 Тут вопрос не в том что это плохо, а в том что распиздяи в погонах продают это кому попало.
Эпидемия в России распространяется по такой же экспоненте как и везде. Ни карантин, ни слежка на скорость никак не повлияли. Даже замедления не видно. Кому там эта слежка помогла кроме чекистов?
@@user-mf3oc6mj5l это неправда, не по такой же и не такими же темпами. Даже сейчас скорость прироста на миллион населения примерно в 2 раза ниже чем в США, хотя США судя по всему уже на плато. Количество случаев на миллион населения более чем в 10 раз ниже чем в США (1800+ vs 144). Разница между странами где меры принимались как Ю.Корея и где с мерами опоздали или ошиблись изначально, как Великобритания, США, так вот эта разница очевидна. не стоит лгать, особенно, там где вас настолько легко поймать на лжи. Никто в здравом уме не скажет что Великобритания или США приняли достаточные меры, или что Ю. Корея плохо справилась. А Ю.Корея отслеживала и профилировала каждого, максимально. И вполне полицейскими способами устраивала самоизоляцию по строгому сценарию.
It's very scary how many countries are implementing this technology. Will it be everywhere eventually? It doesn't make me feel safer, it makes me feel more threatened.
Let's face it. The whole world will have this. Time to learn counter measures
Stupid how America an Canada are doing the same thing

when did vice decide to start making good content again
I knew this day would come
Good journalism!!

You throw a cup to police of course you are breaking the law, why cry later after you break the law.
I can understand your point and for start you are Wright and i agree, but we have to consider the fundamental of a democratic law system.. Every body is innocent until the authorities prove the opposite,
( By testify in a legal procedure, where the accused has the right to defend himself and to insist that the the authorities testimony is unclear)! In a state were everything is recorded this is very difficult.. people accept ( or forced to accept) the decrease of their liberties for a good reason ( for safety) but...

there are thousands of times more cameras in London, but this does not pose a problem for human rights. propaganda is false again.
Is London being ruled by an all-powerful leader? Think.
