Mexico’s Fan ID and the Form (and Order) of Consent
It’s not enough to get consent. You have to get consent that is rigorous enough. And not just in Illinois, but also in Mexico.
“Mexico’s anti‑corruption regulator has hit the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) with one of one of the country’s largest-ever privacy penalties. The FMF has been fined 42.8 million Mexican pesos (US$2.14 million) for violations linked to its Fan ID system….
“Mexico’s Ministry of Anti‑Corruption and Good Governance (SABG) said FMF failed to tell fans that the photographs collected for Fan IDs were sensitive biometric data and did not obtain the express written consent required under Mexican law.
“Instead, FMF relied on a simple website checkbox without any mechanism to prove the user providing consent was the actual data subject.”
But if your mobile application’s workflow begins with consent before identity verification, how can you change the order and perform facial recognition to positively identify the person giving consent? After all, the person hasn’t given consent to perform facial recognition to confirm the consenting person “was the actual data subject.”
Unless you resort to a manual consent method.
ROC Watch: Even if the Terrorists Win, They Won’t Win in Court
Small comfort if your loved ones die in a terrorist attack, but ROC’s (Rank One Computing’s) product ROC Watch has won a special designation, as Biometric Update reports.
“ROC continues to cement its position in the U.S. biometrics market for defense and law enforcement, with the announcement that its product suite, ROC Watch, has received a Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DT&E) Designation under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act.”
So what?
“ROC and customers deploying ROC Watch receive federal liability protections in the event of an act of terrorism.”
Testing and evaluation designations vs. full designations
Note that a Developmental Testing and Evaluation designation is not a full designation, but only applies for…drumroll…testing and evaluation.
Full designations are held by a number of critical infrastructure entities, including stadiums, the Evolv Expedite product, and CLEAR. There are expired certifications held by Lockheed Martin for the FBI’s Next Generation Identification System, and MorphoTrust for its ABIS.
Business concerns override technology concerns
Again, so what?
This illustrates a key principle in biometrics, and in other technologies: while technological concerns are important, business concerns are critically important. Even if your solution is a technological marvel, it doesn’t matter if it runs into legal, organizational, or other bottlenecks.
For this reason, you should always emphasize your prospects’ needs rather than the cool technology.

I Saw Lon Chaney Walking With the King…Doing the Were Worlds of London (Venues Take Note)
I haven’t said anything substantive about World (formerly Worldcoin) since it fell into the Gap a few months ago.
It’s fallen in a retail district again…but not at a Gap.
“World…has opened a permanent flagship at 48 Oxford Street in London, placing its proof-of-human technology at the center of one of the world’s highest-footfall retail corridors.”
Why?
“A survey sponsored by Tools for Humanity found nearly one in three UK fans believe bots and resellers buy up event tickets before genuine fans can.
“World’s Concert Kit tool applies human verification directly to ticket purchases, routing allocations to verified individuals rather than automated scripts.”
Fight the scalperbots!
