Facial Recognition, Masks and the Psychology of Anonymity

The hosts discuss the decision by tech giants to pause facial recognition sales to police, suggesting it was a practical move because masks made the technology useless. They argue that wearing masks psychologically emboldens people to commit crimes, comparing the atmosphere to the anonymity of Halloween.
