Seems like google is trying to do a good thing in a bad way.<p>They are trying to get their facial recognition working regardless of skin color, Which is a good thing <i>even if you're against facial recognition in general</i> since it reduces inequality.<p>They are doing it by targeting homeless people, which would be fine if they went around it the right way, but instead they lie and deceive. I'm willing to bet there are <i>plenty</i> of people willing to cooperate for $5 and no lies so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why they chose to go for the lying and deceiving route.
