San Francisco Could Become the First U.S. City to Ban the Use of Facial Recognition Technology
San Francisco is on track to become the first U.S. city to ban the use of facial recognition by police and other city agencies, reflecting a growing backlash against a technology that’s creeping into airports, motor vehicle departments, stores, stadiums and home security cameras.

l'ONG britannique Liberty appelle à son tour à l'interdiction de la reconnaissance faciale dans les espaces publics urbains.
Automated facial recognition poses one of the greatest threats to individual freedom and should be banned from use in public spaces, according to the director of the campaign group Liberty.
Martha Spurrier, a human rights lawyer, said the technology had such fundamental problems that, despite police enthusiasm for the equipment, its use on the streets should not be permitted.
She said: “I don’t think it should ever be used. It is one of, if not the, greatest threats to individual freedom, partly because of the intimacy of the information it takes and hands to the state without your consent, and without even your knowledge, and partly because you don’t know what is done with that information.”

Comme me l'indiquait @Martin l'autre joue, une nouvelle municipalité américaine, dans le Massachusetts cette fois, a également opté pour l'interdiction de la reconnaissance faciale.
