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.

No, people will just find other ways to bypass this.
@9P8NRFM 6mos6MO
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,)
@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
@9MSXW7R7mos7MO
Yes, as long as the private information of the public should stay private
@9XPF7TC2mos2MO
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.
