My mind is blown every day by people who think the government is spying on them by forcing them to wear masks that make it harder to identify them.
Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't want to come off like someone who cares that much. Take off your masks, meet up at the big tree and cough into each others mouths, because that's your constitutional right.

that's non sense. it's giving people a false illusion of privacy. facial recocgition is already good enough that masks don't even matter. you would need to have a full prostetic face...then they could still track you by gait tracking.

Maybe by the best systems in a perfect environment, but on an average system it's true a facemask is probably enough. Hell they can't even do it correctly without the masks in typical settings. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/detroit-police-chief-admits-facial-recognition-is-wrong-96-of-the-time/

Gait tracking is actually very accurate

I think that many people have more reasonable concerns than that, it seems like a straw man to me.

Psychological, sociological effects are what I'm concerned about.

'Please wear a mask because you might have some hidden killer virus on your breath without even knowing it.' Think that's a good thing to sustain?

'look at Asia, they wear masks' - Yeah, and their culture is not like the West. They're glad to not have interactions with people throughout the day; a big part of mask-wearing in those cultures is to keep people away, similar to having headphones in on public transport.

Modern facial recognition systems are far too advanced to be stopped by a simple face mask. I think I read somewhere that just having your eyes visible is enough to identify you. So that has nothing to do with it.
