Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

Yes, as long as data is stored securely and not sold to third parties, and technology is used only in public spaces where expectation of privacy is not expected
@Deep_Fried_Milk 2wks2W
No, this has the potential to be taken advantage of. Our privacy will most definitely be stripped.
This question reminds me of George Orwell´s book, called 1984. In the book, there is this type of system in place: cameras always watching, etc. If someone wants to try and educate me on how this could be utilized effectively while ensuring our privacy and other rights remain intact, please do so. I would love to learn more about this. :)

Yes, but not in private areas like restrooms or locker rooms
@9MLVT8M2wks2W
Yes but what if someone that has a beard shaves it off? Will it recognize them
@9MLP6NM2wks2W
It again depends on the security measures to ensure it cannot be used on innocent citezens for political gain.
@9MLNVT62wks2W
If Strictly necessary, but not in normal circumstances
