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
@9ZV824KConservative1mo1MO
It makes everything so much more convenient and much less time consuming. As technology progresses, this accuracy will only sharpen as more sets of eyes will be put on board to this technology.
@B25VRS22wks2W
There has been instances of POC wrongfully targeted by this technology. I don't trust it at all
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you think facial recognition could make your community safer, or would it just make you feel more controlled?
@9TXW8PL3mos3MO
I feel like it would be more authoritarian or more controlling
@9TXFQCY 3mos3MO
No I'd feel more at risk of being abused by a tyrannical government
@9TX52F7New Democratic3mos3MO
Way too much overreach. The use of this software can be beneficial, however as a "monitoring" tool to prevent "crime" as it happens, it would be very damaging to communities and be used unethically and for the gain of those in power
@9TX39QZ3mos3MO
Facial recognition helps police quickly identify suspects by scanning faces in real-time or analyzing camera footage, aiding in crime prevention and locating missing persons or known criminals.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it
@9ZV824KConservative1mo1MO
The technology itself poses risks as well. Not too long ago, two Asian coworkers were able to unlock the same iPhone because they looked very similar. Signifying that the problem relies in the error-making technology itself.
@B27PCQL1 day1D
No, the technology is trustworthy but it sets a dangerous precedent for the government and requires too much trust as it can be misused.
@B262NSJConservative2wks2W
No, this would be too expensive to implement and if humans get older, the face recognition might not work.
@9NGVW5N7mos7MO
The seems like it would turn into a privacy thing where everyone would end up having their privacy violated
@9MV4GBF7mos7MO
I think they should do it but only for criminal detection software, like if someone commited a crime in the past, their face should be added to a list for detection and reconnasenice for criminal behavior
@9MSXW7RNew Democratic7mos7MO
Yes, as long as the private information of the public should stay private
@9XPF7TCNew Democratic2mos2MO
As long as the system can only recognize the faces of wanted criminals or missing persons and doesn't collect any facial data.
@9WGXHQL2mos2MO
They should accuse facial recognition for the roads where the lights are but they shouldn't have that if there's no lights and there's just houses.
@9W9YG5K2mos2MO
No, and legislate a law that disallows using facial recognition for mass surveillance, as this violates everyone's privacy.
@9VSPPZL3mos3MO
like ai this should only be used in goverment facilities and (if the business allows it) businesses around the world.
@9TD8FMR4mos4MO
Maybe, this is something I'm on the fence about. On one hand it would help a lot with identifying those that do crime but on the other I personally and I'm sure others feel like this, it would feel like an invasion of privacy.
@9S9R2T45mos5MO
This could be the worst thing that you could do to a country of freedom. Have a look at any country that has incorporated this and you sure would not wanna live there.
@9RZPX675mos5MO
no, especially what happened during the freedom convoy in 2022
@9RW65Z45mos5MO
Yes, But only to match faces to Identification Cards for purposes of missing people
@9RQNPMR5mos5MO
Yes but with caveats to ensure that is all it is used for
@9RKDWR45mos5MO
Only technology that specifically, and only recognizes the faces of wanted criminals, suspected terrorists etc, not technology that recognizes the face of every citizen.
@9RFSJMHIndependent5mos5MO
at very limited degree and absolutely bar private uses
The technology is not proven and in most cases is wrong on racial profiles
@9RBXNLD5mos5MO
In theory it's great, but I can't see it being used appropriately.
@9QZCYDN6mos6MO
I think they should use the technology but they shouldn't have mass surveillance on everyone all the time
@9QTMDJTConservative6mos6MO
No, not until facial recognition is more constant and doesn't mess up/miss-ID people.
@9QQG9Z86mos6MO
No, people will just find other ways to bypass this.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 7mos7MO
Yes, but this should not be the only method of identification. For example, in order to participate in Canadian elections the voter must present at least two different forms of identification that contain the individual's name, date of birth, address, etc.
@9NK2RH97mos7MO
For areas of high-risk (i.e., Airports, government buildings,)
