for example, as i highlighted in the recent post, half of american adults exist in a government accessible facial recognition network : 




half of all american adults are already in some sort of facial recognition network accessible to law enforcement, according to a comprehensive new study. 




conducted over a year and relying in part on freedom of information and public record requests to 106 law enforcement agencies, the study , conducted by georgetown law<u+2019>s center on privacy and technology, found american police use of facial recognition technology is a scattered, hodgepodge network of laws and regulations. 




<u+201c>looking at the sum total of what we found, there have been no laws that comprehensively regulate face recognition technology, and there<u+2019>s really no case law either,<u+201d> clare garvie, an associate at the cpt, told vocativ. <u+201c>so we find ourselves having to rely on the agencies that are using that technology to rein it in. but what we found is that not every system <u+2014> by a long shot <u+2014> has a use policy.<u+201d> 




with that in mind, bloomberg published an interesting article yesterday covering a couple of lawsuits against facebook and google regarding their facial recognition practices. post navigation
