I have proof that the enforcement of masks is mainly because the chinese are training a deep neural network to recognize disident enemies of the state easily during future confrontations.

They are basically crossing highly irregular facial data, which is good, with electronic transactions performed by those persons. At this point 90% of human population can be recognized just by looking at their eyes with 94% confidence. All of these studies are almost entirely financed by the chinese communist party. They are planning to sell this information to your government in exchange for control over certain sensitive industries/matters.

There will be a serious data dump soon around here, you've been warned. Masks are useless and have nothing to do with covid-19.
