I would expect algorithms like that to put out likelihoods, not hard identifications. All it does is say "this person looks like that person". I wouldn't read that as "wrong".
Where exactly is the failure? It identified a person who looks similar to the person in the drivers license? It could even actually be the same person, given that the drivers license is assumed to be fake (so the fake could use the photograph of the suspect).
OK, but you can find such quotes for everything. "We estimate the global demand to be about 3 computers" "nobody will need more than 16KB of memory" and so on.
What makes you so sure that these people were arrested for telling the truth? What about telling the truth would be an offense worthy of arrest in the US? Assange and Manning come to mind, for leaking government secrets.
But according to the article, most arrests happened in connection with Black Lives Matter protests.
It seems equally plausible that more people than ever try to evade arrest by claiming they are journalists. Or journalist have less and less ethics when doing their jobs.
Not saying that's the root cause, just that you can not simply assume all those people were arrested for telling "the truth".
And how do people who bemoan that stand on the subject of censorship on social networks?
What is meant by 4)? So users have the right to see a web site without ads? I think if users don't consent, you should be allowed to block their access to your web site?
That would be idiotic. We are well off because we can make cheap things (including food). To make things arbitrarily more expensive would make everybody worse off.
Likewise clinging to inefficient means of production. The poor countries in Africa are poor because they can not produce as efficiently as other countries. Not because other countries give them cheap stuff.
I mean we would be making things more expensive via taxes, and give the tax money to Africa so that they can buy things more cheaply. Why not just sell them cheaply to Africa to begin with? Cut out the middle (tax) man.
