If you’re blaming social media users exclusively & not asking for social media billionaires to be held accountable, then you’re doing it wrong.

I know we’re all very busy, but I do think the Minister for Justice passing a law to invent a carve out for the police’s requirement to have Judicial oversight of their use of Facial Recognition of public places was worth a bit of attention. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-hum...

The part of the legislation we are discussing here is called the carrying out of biometric analysis by members of the Garda Siochána. What is clear from a plain reading of this legislation, if enacted, is that it establishes a distinction between "biometric analysis" and "biometric identification".
Irrespective of what the Al Act says, here we are establishing a distinction between the two and only biometric analysis is permitted in this legislation."
Irrespective of what the Al Act says?
That is the wall Humpty Dumpty has decided to balance on. He will pass his law irrespective of the actual terms of the Al Act, and if it falls later he doesn't intend to be there to see it.
The mad yoke.

A recent data centre report from the Department of Enterprise did not include a section on the potential for higher electricity prices due to rising data centre demand. But new documents suggest that the €100,000 report should have examined the issue.
