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
@9ZV824KConservative2mos2MO
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.
@B25VRS21mo1MO
There has been instances of POC wrongfully targeted by this technology. I don't trust it at all
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think facial recognition could make your community safer, or would it just make you feel more controlled?
@9TTFZM4New Democratic4mos4MO
Same rules apply.
Malicious/violent crime only.
If your camera sees someone stealing food? Mind your own business...
@9TSVBD64mos4MO
More controlled. I would also have serious concerns about privacy.
It would make us more controlled as we would be watched 24/7 and only people with a record should be watched
More controlled -- China uses it to repress and terrorise its citizens.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it
@9ZV824KConservative2mos2MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
No, this would be too expensive to implement
@B2FQ4XJ 2wks2W
I understand the concern, but facial recognition technology isn’t as expensive as it might seem. The tools needed, like cameras and software, are already widely available and affordable because technology has improved so much. Many places already have security cameras that can be upgraded, so there’s no need for a big, expensive setup.
The technology is already developed and there are already a vast number of cameras everywhere. It won’t cost a lot to mine the data and process it.
@B2CMT6Q 3wks3W
No, the government should instead focus on improving other methods that are used to ensure public/national safety.
@B27PCQL1mo1MO
No, the technology is trustworthy but it sets a dangerous precedent for the government and requires too much trust as it can be misused.
@B262NSJConservative1mo1MO
No, this would be too expensive to implement and if humans get older, the face recognition might not work.
@9NGVW5N8mos8MO
The seems like it would turn into a privacy thing where everyone would end up having their privacy violated
@9MV4GBF8mos8MO
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 Democratic8mos8MO
Yes, as long as the private information of the public should stay private
@9XPF7TCNew Democratic3mos3MO
As long as the system can only recognize the faces of wanted criminals or missing persons and doesn't collect any facial data.
@9WGXHQL3mos3MO
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.
@9W9YG5K3mos3MO
No, and legislate a law that disallows using facial recognition for mass surveillance, as this violates everyone's privacy.
@9VSPPZL4mos4MO
like ai this should only be used in goverment facilities and (if the business allows it) businesses around the world.
@9TD8FMR5mos5MO
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.
@9S9R2T46mos6MO
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.
@9RZPX676mos6MO
no, especially what happened during the freedom convoy in 2022
@9RW65Z46mos6MO
Yes, But only to match faces to Identification Cards for purposes of missing people
@9RQNPMR6mos6MO
Yes but with caveats to ensure that is all it is used for
@9RKDWR46mos6MO
Only technology that specifically, and only recognizes the faces of wanted criminals, suspected terrorists etc, not technology that recognizes the face of every citizen.
@9RFSJMHIndependent6mos6MO
at very limited degree and absolutely bar private uses
The technology is not proven and in most cases is wrong on racial profiles
@9RBXNLD6mos6MO
In theory it's great, but I can't see it being used appropriately.
@9QZCYDN7mos7MO
I think they should use the technology but they shouldn't have mass surveillance on everyone all the time
@9QTMDJTConservative7mos7MO
No, not until facial recognition is more constant and doesn't mess up/miss-ID people.
@9QQG9Z87mos7MO
No, people will just find other ways to bypass this.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 8mos8MO
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.
@9NK2RH98mos8MO
For areas of high-risk (i.e., Airports, government buildings,)
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
@B2GWVFR2wks2W
The government should be careful with face recognition and AI. Its use should be careful and don’t let it in the wrong hands.
