You're one of the reasons for the ban.
No kidding. While on the surface the bans are about medical masks, I'm sure there's a surveillance motive as well.
NYC has an explicit ban on masks that conceal identities, as of a while ago now, unless that's been repealed somehow.
It's an idea, for sure.
I genuinely, seriously doubt it. I imagine its to keep MAGAts happy while completely fucking them over socio-economically.
It's also so they can target people with facial recognition.
unfortunately, yes, fortunately for me, and other people, i'm still correct in this regard.
There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to obscure your identity, if there was the internet wouldn't allow anonymity. People would be required to wear their government issued ID on their shirts. Etc.
