In a revelation that is sure to freak out the FBI, Insane Clown Posse’s passionate fan base have unintentionally unlocked the secret to thwarting facial recognition.

It turns out that Juggalos face makeup cannot be accurately read by many facial recognition technologies. Most common programs identify areas of contrast — like those around the eyes, nose, and chin — and then compare those points to images within a database. The black bands frequently used in Juggalo makeup obscure the mouth and cover the chin, totally redefining a person’s key features.

What is a Juggalo?

A facial recognition privacy activist!!!

    I respect their irreverence for conventional thinking.

    Same. It's probably also the only thing I respect them for, lol. I guess I respect their ability to make music and run shows and manage tons of fans too. But that's about it.

    Can you delete the pornographic picture so I don't need to remove your comment? We've talked about this. I will ban you from the site if you're continually causing problems and trolling people. Getting tired of having this conversation with you.

    It's not porn.

    Violence is acceptable, but a jock strap isn't, huh?

    Plus this is the privacy sub.

    That isn't "a jock strap", it's an undershot of some diseased scrotum that you're apparently obsessed with. Your comment has been removed.

    Don't post pictures of genitals anymore, or you're banned. Last warning. It's not difficult.
