The Treasury Department is reconsidering the Internal Revenue Service’s reliance on facial recognition software ID.me for access to its website, an official said Friday amid scrutiny of the company’s collection of images of tens of millions of Americans’ faces.

Treasury and the IRS are looking for alternatives to ID.me, a department official said, but did not specify the agencies are attentive to concerns around the software. The company has faced growing criticism over its software and its use of facial recognition technology.

Go back and read my update, he got a job offer out it.
Interesting ... is it a publicity stunt by the Charter company? ... or are they genuinely interested in his skills? ... I don't think I'd ever hire someone like him. I'd feel like he'd be looking out for any loophole in his contract or job description to take advantage of it and use it against me ... hiring scorpions is not a wise policy

"Always Verify" and similar calls to action have been around for years. Those calls to action suggested people should let the normal process happen but verify it is correct. People are lazy and/or polite and eventually stop verifying.

a phrase like, Zero Trust is stronger and gives authority to redesign processes to install gatekeepers and make sure only trusted people get through the gate. "Zero Trust" definitely takes it up a notch.

The new rule requires bars, nightclubs, sexually-oriented businesses, convenience stores and game rooms to install outdoor security cameras.
Under the rule, these types of businesses will be required to provide video surveillance from the building exterior to the property line 24 hours a day. Business owners are also required to hand over footage to HPD within 72 hours of a request.
On top of this, the new rule requires convenience stores to place lighting anywhere customers are allowed.
Not everyone is excited for more cameras to be popping up around the city and one group even thinks the new rule is unconstitutional.
"The city council ignored the law. Their vote demonstrated a willingness to push aside constitutional protections and subject Houstonians to overbroad police searches," said Savannah Kumar, an attorney with the ACLU of Texas. "But a city cannot override the Constitution. We are here to help you protect your rights. If the police come knocking on your door, tell them to get a warrant, whether it’s your home or your business."

Somehow that just doesn't sound legal. Especially without a gradnfathering clause... Tell the City Council to pay the installation and upkeep bills.
