It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology
(consequence.net)
ICP is based as hell:
"I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
Out here pretending like you ain't offendin'
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You redneck judges with racist grudges
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
If you gotta tattoo, I'm aimin' at you
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You get punched in your faces reppin' the racists"
CoC goes hard.
Thats actually from Confederate Flag off of the missing link album, but your original statement is correct CoC is awesome.
Hello fellow juggalos, it’s me, a juggalo. I was just taking Wolfie for a walk.
You know those influencers who are like makeup addicts? They often use shading or tape to change the shape of their faces. I wonder whether they could fool facial recognition technology as well.
The difference being that a person made up like that won't stand out as much as a person wearing Juggalo makeup.
Second time this week I've had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn't find one with more pixels.
I used to think juggalos were cringe but I'm really digging how based they are ideology wise. Their music isn't my taste but I've got weird musical preferences anyway.

We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach's mask a thing.
We become Rorschach. Funny joke, everyone laughs.
Who is this Rorschach guy and why does he have so many pictures of my parents fighting‽
Juggalos are still identified as a domestic terrorist org, probably for this exact reason
Jesus, with the horrible and steady descent into hell over the past years, I totally forgot about that. Ah, the nostalgia of the past when these clowns were so scary that they got bumped up to terrorists.
I think in the future everyone will wear masks like daft punk
It won't work alone for long in the age of AI. You won't be tracked and identified by face alone. It'll be a complex array of data points. Your face, your hair, your eye color if the cameras have the resolution, your height, your gait, your posture, your scars and injuries, your visible birth defects, whether you use mobility aids, the wireless devices emitting signals in your pockets, the list goes on and on. They'll assemble dozens of data points and make it extremely difficult to falsify enough to avoid detection instead of just getting flagged as suspicious.
Once we have a case where AI fabricated evidence is used to convict somebody it will also get much easier to dismiss a lot of this data. I still get ads for dogfood for a dog I don't own.
I know corporations can handsomely reward unscrupulous scientists but more often than not they do not effectively use the data they're amassing.

Which is already illegal in much of the US. Will it hold up in court? Maybe not but that doesn't stop cops from demanding you take it off

Wasn’t this established a long time ago?
It was.
And I have bad news: it's largely no longer true. Modern models, gait recognition, 3d face maps, all can de-anonymize juggalo/clown makeup
If Juggalo makeup isn't your thing, going Sith would probably work just as well.
If you're thinking of Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren't a necessary feature of the Sith.

No need to paint the face, this is known since time by Paparazi tired famous people.
To avoid smart glasses, this app
What is a juggalo?
Fan of Insane Clown Posse, aka ICP
That's what it is? Well fuck if I know
Yah, it was a big ol subculture in the 00s. Still kinda around but nowhere near as much. I grew up around some. Crunchy as hell but extremely anti-racist and anti-homophobia (despite almost all of them gratuitously using the word “fag” and all its other forms, but that was the style at the time.) I had almost entirely good experiences with them.

He’s duckin’ them drones, he’s swerving them cams,
He’s rockin’ that greasepaint, confusin’ the scans.
Facial recognition? Ha, you ain’t got a shot,
When my mug’s lookin’ wilder than a Jackson Pollock!
He’s pourin’ out Faygo, all sticky and sweet,
Splashin’ those lenses, now the fuzz can’t see.
He’s trickin’ Big Brother, he’s hackin’ the flow,
They livin’ 1984, but he’s sayin’ “Fuck no!”

Great until the cops are looking for that one Juggalo in Jamestown but you have to represent..
People will call the cops on clowns they spot on the street, and cops respond. I kid you not, at least in some places.
Woop woop
Alternatively use a guy fawkes mask.
Wait...
Whoop whoop
