WHY is IRS.gov using a private 3rd party, id.me that uses a facial recognition technology KNOWN to have a problem properly identifying #BlackWomen? It's problematic in a HOST of other ways #Taxes #AI #FacialRecognition #IRS #Seniors #PoorPeople #Disabled https://photos.app.goo.gl/PPcSKgCGQYjahVYB7 @ant_pruitt @gigastacey
@ant_pruitt @gigastacey No one listened last year when @briankrebs outlined what a clusterf**k @IRStaxsecurity using @IDme would be https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/irs-will-soon-require-selfies-for-online-access/
@ant_pruitt @gigastacey Here is the response of @Blake_Hall , CEO of id.me https://twitter.com/Blake_Hall/status/1628251163165327361?t=AZLiU1cOxaA8rcBustIFhg&s=19
@ant_pruitt @gigastacey So remember my post about how the IRS 3rd party #AI #FacialRecognition ID system was having trouble recognizing me, a Black woman? Here are two articles about how this same problem in the new #CPB #Asylum app is having DIRE consequences for families seeking asylum into the US. PLEASE put this on the rundown. People need to know !
