Facial Recognition is slowly
getting embedded in most systems in the name of security.
This needs to stop.
Not only it will not help, but it will definitely harm a lot of innocent people: Identity theft and doxing when the inevitable data breaches happen. False positives, which can be very high and even higher for people of color. Normalized discrimination for many.
We collectively need to
refuse each time facial recognition is requested, and we need to write to our public representatives to demand better legislation against it.
If we do not refuse to participate and
we do not fight for our privacy rights collectively, we will lose them.
