Truly don't understand what is happening in the heads of these researchers. Can't they see how the main use of this is going to be mass surveillance?

Very cool. Doesn't seem like they've actually released the code:

> This is a reimplementation of LoGeR; complete code and models will be released upon approval.

I don't understand why it's a reimplementation either?

I would guess it's "research" code anyway so not really usable unless you are an expert.
