A pending national strategy on data collection and analytics will focus on regulation and policy changes, according to a forthcoming request for public comments.
the Obama admin was big on data cause its the SV fad for the last 15 years, ish. the reality is that they can't do all that much accurately with the data - think about tesla's self-driving proficiency meeting healthcare.gov's technical excellence. the scarier thing than them interpreting the data correctly is that it's wildly wrong and it fucks people's lives up - like imagine ending up on the no-fly list because you posted a picture of your dog on the internet but absolutely no one can tell you anything about it because the decision was classified and never reviewed by a human being. the companies that build these tools swear up and down that they're accurate, that they're basically reading people's minds, but shit like eye tracking and sentiment analysis as often veer into neo-phrenology and pseudoscience.
gait recognition is about the only thing that really scares me. the accuracy figures out of academia are scarily high for the level of effort invested and the government got the next wifi standard to include the requisite data gathering capability as a default feature. that means that as people start buying routers in 2024, they'll be buying shitty, insecure devices that the cops can use to pull unfortunately accurate identifying info off of. wifi goes through walls and you can't tell that you're walking through the a wifi field. changing your gait is about as hard as changing your voice to sound like a different person, so we're all gonna need to practice.
academia has tested a lot of stuff like this and the answer seems to be no. what works really well is to wear loose clothes and line the inside of your clothes with weights so the fabric moves in opposition to your motion. but also, you're fully in control of how you walk, it's just hard to be aware of it cause it's so automatic -- so if you practice walking like someone else, you'll figure it out after awhile. the neat tricks to beating it require having the right things on you and they can't adjust very easily to allow you to break tracking -- only identification -- whereas teaching yourself new ways of countering technology only requires you to change your behavior in the moment.
idk, my experience from voice training is that once you become aware of the automatic parts of behaviors, it gets easier and easier to shift your behavior and hold it for lengthier periods of time. it's very hard at first, probably for the first few months, and then it's just another skill you can modulate on demand. and I say this as someone with pretty severe ADHD.
What does it even do with all this data other than find people to entrap into gladio type acts?

It'll be retroactively used for AI training and as they improve they'll be able to do more with it.
They will keep it forever and they will fuck everyone later when they finally do have more ways to use and parse it all.
Finding people to sic said gladio type acts on.
