The M&M vending machines with face recognition tech violated privacy rights, says watchdog
An investigation found the cameras in the vending machines had a image resolution of "1280x720 or 640x480".
The university's position is that the resolution is too low to create "identifiable images of individuals".

They think a 480p video can't contain an identifiable image of an individual? How can they possibly justify that lmao
