Persona’s exposed code compares your selfie to watchlist photos using facial recognition, screens you against 14 categories of adverse media from mentions of terrorism to espionage, and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships to combat online child exploitative material, cannabis trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, romance fraud, money laundering, and illegal wildlife trade

In the 1930’s, IBM subsidiary companies were responsible for the census data and concentration camp cataloguing systems in Nazi Germany (and it’s invaded territories). The numbers tattooed on prisoners were five-digit IBM Hollerith numbers, corresponding to their dedicated punch card. With an estimated 40k+ camps of different types, the machine leases would have been very lucrative for IBM. They won’t say how lucrative, and they made sure they had complex financial setups through “neutral” countries.

IBM systems also underpinned the concentration “internment” camps in the US holding people of Japanese background. But of course, they’re much louder about their 1930’s history in winning the US Social Security contract - older SSNs were also Hollerith numbers.

It would be amusing that punch cards were a more secure system if history didn’t look like it was rapidly repeating.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh…not doing that, because duh.
