‘You have no masks’ Meet the Belarusian developer working on a facial recognition algorithm for doxing riot police
Date
October 1, 2020
Description
In response to severe police suppression of protests in Belarus, developer Andrey Maximov designed a program that exposes the identities of police officers accused of abuse. While this is a positive evolution in terms of the Belarusian people's tactics of non-violent direct action, its efficacy will only be revealed by the nature of the response of the Lukashenko regime.
