40% of the 2014 People’s Climate March Would Have Been Exposed to Facial Recognition
Though it’s difficult to pin down any one exact route for the 2014 climate change march, some news reports claim demonstrators traveled roughly from Columbus Circle on the southwest side of Central Park to the Far West Side. The marchers had gathered to show their collective frustration over the international community’s seeming unwillingness to move the needle on policies aimed at curbing climate change.
If that march took place in 2022, around 40% of it would have been exposed to facial recognition. Though the middle portion of the route appears relatively free of public cameras, the start and end destination is peppered with them, like spots on a leopard.
