Radio-Biometric Data

Description

Jem Bendell:

"Scientists at the Italian university have developed a method, nicknamed “WhoFi”, which uses the subtle disturbances we make when passing through WiFi signals to identify us with over 95% accuracy, even through walls. This is not surveillance in the form we’ve grown used to, such as cameras, facial recognition, or GPS. It is something more ambient, invisible, and insidious, especially given the widespread roll out of 5G, which uses similar signals. We don’t need to carry a phone or walk in front of a lens. Simply by existing within the reach of a WiFi or 5G signal, our bodily presence can be sensed, learned, remembered, and tracked. Let’s call it our ‘radio-biometric data’."
