Title: Dont show your guns serial number in pictures anywhere online!
Post by: Special T on October 24, 2019, 01:05:42 PM
The recent proliferation of digital photography, online indexing, and cloud storage have combined with OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition) to create a perfect storm for privacy invasiveness in the modern era.

When you consider that the ability of tech companies to also use machine learning to understand what's in an image, the implications for privacy and civil rights are easy to see.

Users have recently been alarmed to discover that when you search for a license plate on Google images, Google's technology is so good that it can show you the car that's associated with that license plate number – assuming that it has a photo of it in its index.

The same is true for the indexing of guns when you search for a serial number online.

Ghost Guns don't have any, just really deadly features like barrell shrouds and 30 rounds in half a second.

and they are as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street!   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
