Facial Recognition Technology Beaten by a Nose Job?

Facial Recognition Technology Beaten by a Nose Job?

A young woman in China found her life turned upside down when plastic surgery altered her appearance so drastically she was banned from online payment gateways and unable to sign in to work.

The change in her appearance was too much for widely used facial recognition software, which was no longer able to identify the woman - Huan Huan, 21, from Wenzhou in Zhejiang province.

Huan said she discovered she had been logged out of the online shopping and payment gateways she used because the secure identification process, backed by facial recognition technology, simply did not know who she was.

Huan said her work was also affected as she could no longer sign in and off work by scanning her face. Checking in to hotels and boarding high-speed trains had also become a problem as she had used facial recognition to register on those platforms.

Huan did not blame the facial recognition technology for her difficulties, admitting that her "entire face looks very different. Even my mum couldn't recognise me after the surgery", she said.

Despite all the trouble of updating her ID and registering her new face on all the online platforms she used, Huan said she was very happy with her new nose.

She'd better change a new ID card.

There seems to have been a lot of confusion around the difference between the Block and Delete functions on WeChat, so we decided to publish an article to break it down. 1. Block Blocking someone on WeChat allows you to continue sending them messages, but they can no longer reply to your messages. This means that you will not be receiving any messages from them, and will not be seeing anything that they post on your Moments anymore either. However, your chat history is not completely deleted unless you choose to do so. In the event that someone blocks you, WeChat will send you the following notification: Of course, we all change our minds from time to time, which is why its easy to you to remove the person youve blocked from your blacklist, which will allow them to send you messages again. Rest assured, they wont know that they were on your blacklist in the first plac...
