#2Jesus... This is a very representative example of what happens when technology is not used in a democratic way, and when it is. It can be abused as much as it could be used for the public benefit

#4It's not just about this, but given all that is happening in the space of facial recognition, I think it would be really valuable for researchers to start looking at it like they would weapons research. Almost entirely nefarious applications.
After WW2 the University of Tokyo banned weapons research from happening in its research labs. I think we can be drawing more lines on research like this and take a stand against a lot of this.

Facial recognition itself isn't the problem. Arresting good people based on bad laws is the problem.

Where there is a way and profit, someone will have the will.

#7> China has the largest monitoring system in the world. There are some 170 million CCTV cameras across the country
I wonder how this compares to the UK per capita considering how massive China is.

This is a stupid idea, the bad guys will still research and will just become stronger, an arm race always kept the balance, wars don't start because a weapon created or not but it definitely gives incentive to try one when you know your enemy is not keeping up with the latest technology

Yeah, sorry it's a bit old, but I came across it in some of my reading today regarding the San Francisco attempt to ban facial recognition software with an ordinance passed back in in May and didn't see it had ever been shared. Thought it was worth passing along. Cheers, just food for thought.

I've never fully agreed that when you're in public all data collection on you is fair game.
These are governments that we are setting up to benefit ourselves, this seems far more in the interest of gov interests than citizens.
If they were strictly limited to criminal investigations and required a warrant to scan the images that might be a different story.
