Hi, folks. I'm Bernie. I'm an American in Ireland. I spent more than a decade working with highly sophisticated military imaging equipment, reconnaissance photos. Try to use some of my experience to let my extended family from Pennsylvania know that all the selfies they took and all the ruckus they enjoyed have become permanent or at least semi permanent, artifacts of history inside their cloud storage and shared across different media platforms. Content moderation is a big thing

Hey, Bernie, you realize, of course, that with that sophistication of face recognition technology and how the FBI can get access to Google and Apple's ecosystem and access those images through social media. That the greatest fears of these conspiracy theorists and on and other likes going to be confirmed. Big Brother is watching. Look it. You can't even break into a federal building without getting arrested

Bernie, I wonder if I have no doubt that image recognition software is being used to give the article link to certainly stated that, but it could even be much simpler. The cellular service or Wi Fi. Repeaters, whatever infrastructure is getting a signal inside that capital building would have pinged all the devices in that place. And that time. And there's a geolocation tag, probably on the photos and videos themselves

What I know is this at this point, though, I don't think most of the family is going to invite those who jumped in a shared Uber and took the three hour trip to Washington to go raucously around the capital environment. I don't think those family cousins will be invited into any kind of Thanksgiving discussion in the next five years. So it's going to be pretty awkward during funerals
