Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society
Even for those who currently have no medical vulnerabilities, or who don’t mask regularly, wearing a mask should be as simple as using an umbrella when it rains or a bandage when you’re bleeding. You can protect yourself from flu season or smoke, or others from your cold. Easy, practical, courteous.
Criminalizing a simple, easy, personal tool for public health is absurd and incredibly harmful. Masking whenever, wherever, for whatever reason, should be a completely normal and accepted part of life in a society.
Facial recognition systems needs to work to protect the power elites! Public protection is contrary to the power structures. Profits are made off of public vulnerabilities.
