The short answer is, the more of your face you cover, the harder it is to ID someone. If you wear a hat and a face mask, they will not be able to use facial recognition to identify you, to my knowledge.
There is still stuff like gait analysis, but that’s also relatively hard unless they have a bunch of visuals of you walking. Which they may have. But wearing a mask does make it discernibly more difficult for them to ID you.
That said, thank you for having the courage to resist openly. We do need it, and it does matter. I personally mask because of health reasons and generally trying to throw a wrench in the surveillance state (I hate being ad targeted, much less state targeted). But I get so much motivation out of seeing my fellow folks show up to resist in all the ways that they want to personally.
Yeah, as a privileged, white male I don’t cover up my face. I’ll be a face for others or take that place. I’m statistically better off being targeted than a non-white person.
