Facial Recognition,

seems to be the latest thing,


in the UK it is pretty much accepted, and some countries like say Thailand it is in certain regions in all walks of your daily life, for instance if you want a telephone, or soon to open a bank account, but in America, local politicians and the national lawmakers (from both sides of the aisle) across the US have started introducing rules that ban law enforcement agencies from using facial recognition technology in monitoring citizens, in just the past few months, San Francisco, Oakland, and Somerville, Massachusetts passed laws to ban government use of this controversial technology which can identify people by analyzing pictures or videos. Cambridge, Massachusetts, is also going toward a government ban, facial recognition is a rare case where regulators are working together — on a bipartisan level, no less — to try to get ahead of technology instead of catching up to it, that’s because this powerful new technology has the potential to infringe on Americans’ civil liberties — no matter their political persuasion — and to have a chilling effect on free speech, more details of this news at Recode, and if you do not want to visit countries that already uses facial recognition, here are the fastest 5 of them, and one of them will shortly have a camera in every one of its lampposts! so if you are afraid of the technology, give Heathrow Airport a miss!
