MPs call for 'immediate' stop to facial recog
I hate to say this, but it's futile posing. Never mind that the MPs only started becoming interested in the subject, when they've suddenly run out of brexit-related problems, it would have been futile from the start. Once the technology is there, that's it, it will be used - and abused - particularly by the governments because they always run after the next golden bullet that'll help them solve all problems, real and imaginary (TERRORISM! CHILDREN!) at no cost and great glory to themselves. The only thing that this will achieve is that some laws will be passed to CONFIRM the legality of facial recognition, like in the past, laws have been passed in the UK and elsewhere, to confirm what the state was doing already, illegally, against its own citizens. I'm sure the bad guys can't wait until the laws allows them to use facial recognition for their own, alternative purposes ;)
