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
@bunnies444 4 days4D
Yes, but it must strictly regulated and only used in events where a complaint or issue has been filed.
@268W4CP 1wk1W
No, this would only open the door for the government to eventually take complete control over every aspect of people's lives.
@9JLF8JK 1wk1W
Yes, but only in public areas and not in any privately owned properties or government properties. Only in public areas, like streets and sidewalks.
@9R48J86 1wk1W
Mass surveillance should be acceptable on federally owned property and commercial property. Private ownership should have a say in whether there is any surveillance on their land and if they decide not to allow it, then so be it.
@8RQ55J4 1wk1W
No, and we should ban all use and development of facial recognition technology even for private uses
