Protect our freedoms: Ban facial recognition of public
We urge the government to ban the use of mass facial recognition technology in public spaces. We believe legislation is needed to protect rights and ensure ethical use of technology.
We believe it threatens privacy, freedom, & democracy, enables intrusive surveillance, undermines public trust, & disproportionately impacts marginalised groups through bias & misidentification. We think it impacts lawful protests & sets a dangerous precedent for unchecked monitoring. We think without legislation, the UK risks becoming a surveillance state, eroding civil liberties & democratic values. We believe a ban is essential to protect freedoms, ensure accountability & uphold human rights.
