Rejected petition: Regulate the Use of Facial Recognition Technology in Public Spaces
Rejected on
Provide legislation to clearly enforce GDPR when it comes to the use of facial recognition within applications, social media and in public. Protect citizens from having facial recognition used without their consent.
In this modern age of data our privacy is constantly being violated. The wide spread use of facial recognition within applications, social media and in public is a clear violation of our rights and a breech of GDPR. The government must clearly legislate the use of facial recognition technology to protect the publics privacy and enable law enforcement to police it.
