Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that facial recognition is less accurate for people with darker skin?

Yes. A fact-checker rated the claim that facial recognition is much less accurate for darker-skinned people as correct, and a dissertation evaluating thirteen commercial verification algorithms found darker-skinned people had the least accurate results. A book on face recognition errors also states the technology is less accurate with darker skin.
