Let’s be clear here, there is no legitimate use for mass scale facial recognition tools. None. In every case it will lead to a total erosion of what remains of your privacy.
Not the police, not tech companies, no one should be able to track and identify you in an instant wherever you go.
Right now we’re possibly at the last point in time where this technology can be banned across the board before it’s suddenly everywhere and the argument will be “but everyone is using it, so we can’t do anything about it”.
rtrixie:
In the good timeline, a ban on government and corporate use of facial recognition software would be a major election issue
Facial recognition should absolutely be a major issue right now.
