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.

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Do you think facial recognition could make your community safer, or would it just make you feel more controlled?
@9V4BD7B2mos2MO
It wouldn’t make me feel safer because with AI, people can create other people’s faces and go through recognition without it being the real
person.
@9V28522New Democratic2mos2MO
No, I feel as if we had facial recognition I would feel more controlled like robots. Instead we can continue to use ID's.
@9V27SQH2mos2MO
The Facial Recognition carries pros about the countries security. People can easily identify to use of the governmental facilities. Moreover, government can get a report of their citizens and manage the system.
@9V27Y742mos2MO
I would feel more controlled because we are not robots and do not need facial recognition. We can use other ways to identify others such as Ids, passports, drivers license etc.
@9RKDWR44mos4MO
Only technology that specifically, and only recognizes the faces of wanted criminals, suspected terrorists etc, not technology that recognizes the face of every citizen.
@9RFSJMHIndependent4mos4MO
at very limited degree and absolutely bar private uses
The technology is not proven and in most cases is wrong on racial profiles
@9RBXNLD4mos4MO
In theory it's great, but I can't see it being used appropriately.
@9QZCYDN4mos4MO
I think they should use the technology but they shouldn't have mass surveillance on everyone all the time
@9QTMDJTConservative4mos4MO
No, not until facial recognition is more constant and doesn't mess up/miss-ID people.
@9QQG9Z85mos5MO
No, people will just find other ways to bypass this.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 5mos5MO
Yes, but this should not be the only method of identification. For example, in order to participate in Canadian elections the voter must present at least two different forms of identification that contain the individual's name, date of birth, address, etc.
@9NK2RH96mos6MO
For areas of high-risk (i.e., Airports, government buildings,)
@9NGVW5N6mos6MO
The seems like it would turn into a privacy thing where everyone would end up having their privacy violated
@9MV4GBF6mos6MO
I think they should do it but only for criminal detection software, like if someone commited a crime in the past, their face should be added to a list for detection and reconnasenice for criminal behavior
@9MSXW7RNew Democratic6mos6MO
Yes, as long as the private information of the public should stay private
@9XPF7TCNew Democratic3wks3W
As long as the system can only recognize the faces of wanted criminals or missing persons and doesn't collect any facial data.
@9WGXHQL4wks4W
They should accuse facial recognition for the roads where the lights are but they shouldn't have that if there's no lights and there's just houses.
@9W9YG5K1mo1MO
No, and legislate a law that disallows using facial recognition for mass surveillance, as this violates everyone's privacy.
@9VSPPZL1mo1MO
like ai this should only be used in goverment facilities and (if the business allows it) businesses around the world.
@9TD8FMR2mos2MO
Maybe, this is something I'm on the fence about. On one hand it would help a lot with identifying those that do crime but on the other I personally and I'm sure others feel like this, it would feel like an invasion of privacy.
@9S9R2T43mos3MO
This could be the worst thing that you could do to a country of freedom. Have a look at any country that has incorporated this and you sure would not wanna live there.
@9RZPX673mos3MO
no, especially what happened during the freedom convoy in 2022
@9RW65Z44mos4MO
Yes, But only to match faces to Identification Cards for purposes of missing people
@9RQNPMR4mos4MO
Yes but with caveats to ensure that is all it is used for
