Just a few hours before the publication of this article, Rodríguez’s office confirmed that the biometric data of the author of this story and the photographer are among the data requested by the City of Buenos Aires. In our interview, the former minister stated that all data requests are traceable—and that all requests can be explained. The query to find out if this is true is underway.
It’s been uncovered that there is rampant abuse of the facial recognition system with people using non-traceable users to access the system, and many politicians and journalists having their biometric data looked up for seemingly no reason.
Forensics have also determined that lots of records have been deleted, and that in many instances (over 300) someone has attempted to delete the proof that the deletion even happened.
