The only people offended by this are the ones who dont yet understand that this is happening constantly all over the place without your consent already.
Something happening all the time doesn’t mean that it’s good and you should just accept it.
No of course not. But in order to be able to not accept it, you have to know about it in the first place. Thats what this is perfect for. No harm done, lots of eyes opened.
Social media erupted with bewildered reactions from attendees. Some praised the band for forcing a conversation about surveillance that most people avoid, while others expressed discomfort with the unexpected data capture.
Unlike typical concert technology that enhances your experience, this facial recognition system explicitly confronted attendees with the reality of data capture. The band made visible what usually happens invisibly—your face being recorded, analyzed, and potentially stored by systems you never explicitly agreed to interact with.
The audience split predictably along ideological lines. Privacy advocates called it a boundary violation disguised as art. Others viewed it as necessary shock therapy for our sleepwalking acceptance of facial recognition in everyday spaces. Both reactions prove the intervention achieved its disruptive goal.
Your relationship with facial recognition technology just got more complicated. Every venue, every event, every public space potentially captures your likeness. Massive Attack simply made the invisible visible—and deeply uncomfortable. The question now isn’t whether this was art or privacy violation, but whether you’re ready to confront how normalized surveillance has become in your daily life.
This is why I no longer go out in public.
I dont go out because outside costs $250 a day.

I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.
Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.

Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.
It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.
Case solved why I’m getting it :)

Did you see portishead? Just curious.

The singer has always been about exposing problems the media won’t cover. I think it actually led to a schism and a few of the members leaving about two decades ago.
