FACIAL RECOGNITION

FACIAL RECOGNITION

Yes, we know: Facial Recognition technology sounds like a bad episode of Black Mirror. 

But police departments around the country are already using it. 

And since legal scholars have already -- extensively --  proven that police use of facial recognition is inaccurate and discriminatory (and plenty of lawyers and judges are worried that facial recognition violates privacy and free speech rights), 

it's no surprise that advocates from the left and the right (and major figures like IBM and the Pope) have called for its regulation (or banning it outright).

FACIAL RECOGITION HARMS

So why is the public still asleep on the fight against facial recognition? And why haven't programmers and policy makers fixed it?

This one isn't hard, folks.

  • Facial recognition technology allows the police to identify and surveil people (a) without their knowledge, and (b) without time or location limits, meaning we live in a new era of potentially limitless and nonstop surveillance

  • This police surveillance has a chilling effect on people’s 1st amendment rights to free speech, freedom of association, and participation in the political process and civic life

  • Constant surveillance discourages people from sharing their opinions; associating with those who have differing opinions; and participating in the political process, leading to a less vibrant and more tense social and political landscape
