Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

No, in fact, it should be considered a VIOLATION of public safety and potentially a violation of national security. Privacy should be considered a right for both humane and practical reasons.
@9YC39MF6mos6MO
In public areas (I think) should be fine and a good use. But never on private property unless given permission.
@9WRV9HR 6mos6MO
The government already has our faces because of our Driver's Licenses, there is no need for facial recognition
@9WPWG3D6mos6MO
If it is public places and not invasive to peoples privacy then yes, but it shouldn't be done to peoples privately owned items that have cameras
@9WDRS286mos6MO
The debate around the use of facial recognition technology for mass surveillance is a contentious issue that raises important questions about public, safety, privacy and civil liberties.
@9W9JC6W7mos7MO
Yes, but it's use should be limited to federal or criminal investigation, without corporate intervention.
@9TSYMYQ8mos8MO
Yes, but have an automated system that blurs the faces of innocent people and leaves active or past criminals faces visible, privacy is a concern with this though if and when it gets hacked
@9T44GN48mos8MO
Yes and no, facial recognition in the pursuit of a known and dangerous person might help a lot, but just watching people in their day to day lives is called stalking and not even the government should have a free pass for that.
@B48VMKF1mo1MO
not for "mass surveillance" but for limited cases, yes. In or near sensitive security areas. Or possibly near schools. Not just facial but could also recognize visible weapons.
@9W6GZFWProgressive7mos7MO
This is something that should only be considered when dealing with people that have criminal records and/or committed felonies.
@9YMPGN56mos6MO
I believe there should be more security instead of face tracking because someone could hack that and create harmful deepfakes of people.
@9W39SK37mos7MO
In support of security and dissuading terrorist attacks as well as crime in general, yes. However, if there ever was a cyber attack on the governmental buildings containing this data, because there would be one eventually, then the entirety of America could be at risk of collapse or worse. So ultimately, no.
@9WPW4T3Republican6mos6MO
Only if there is a reasonable reason like a known criminal or dangerous person is around should facial recognition be used in mass. It should never be used 24/7 becasue of privacy.
