In Part 2 of my series on defeating facial recognition, I test viewer-suggested privacy hacks including mirrored sunglasses, polarized lenses, IR reflectors, infrared illuminators, and even IR reflective sunscreen. Do any of these actually stop Face ID or trick facial recognition cameras? Watch to find out!
I also explain how police in New Orleans secretly used private facial recognition networks — and why it’s more urgent than ever to protect your privacy in public spaces.
🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss Part 3, where I test these same methods against 2D facial recognition systems like OpenCV and FaceNet.
