…Love this sub, I don’t have hardcore needs in terms of privacy, but wanted to know for people that enjoy a covid mask, their opinion on Gait Rec. Technologies, and does any one have any intel in throwing these systems off, whether or not that is impossible?

haha, that would be painful to walk around with all the time
Well, if you did it all the time they would consistently identify you.
put it in the other shoe then
true, of course it depends on various factors right, because if your in the system, they need a way to link your identity to your gait, and for most people it would be impossible to avoid unless you’ve been running level 10 Opsec for the past 20 years you might be in the clear
You’re right, it would be very annoying to change up your gait all the time unless you’re a potential target. Like you, I try to avoid being tracked and surveillances as much as possible just by principle. But for something like this it would be very impractical.
