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, In certain high-risk situations or extremely high populated events but not in normal everyday life/activities
@9N429PW9mos9MO
Yes - Provided it is only used for individuals who are wanted by law enforcement and data for any other individuals is not kept.
@9MRMXSS9mos9MO
As long as it's only for that and not being used an an invasion of privacy. For example, use it to locate missing persons or wanted criminals.
@9Q2FM4V8mos8MO
Yes, if additional laws are set in place and enforced so it cannot be misused/ used for any other purposes than evidence of criminal behaviour, searching for wanted criminals, searching for missing persons. Etc.
@B2WS4VN 1wk1W
I think it is a very good thing if used correctly, ie... identifying criminals, identifying missing people.
@B2T4ZN42wks2W
Yes, but only at major events or important national security interest sites. All data that doesn’t match someone on a watchlist must be deleted after the event is concluded safely or 48hours (whichever is sooner)
@B2Q67G42wks2W
I think it’s not a good idea for the government to use facial recognition. That’s too much of an invasion of privacy thing and it makes people feel scared of living and fearful the government is watching them.
@B2J6KNY4wks4W
Don’t spend money on that. Invest it into the police so they can stop the crime before it happens, just get more officers to patrol
