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.

Do you think facial recognition could make your community safer, or would it just make you feel more controlled?
@9V7JKNP1wk1W
I think it would make everyone feel more controlled.
@9V6NDKS1wk1W
It would make me feel more controlled, and that my community doesn't trust anything
@9V6GWLM 1wk1W
I think that it goes both ways. It would increase security and would be beneficial, but, some people won't feel safe. There has to be a higher level of trust between the people and the government.
@9V5GB5RConservative1wk1W
I would feel more controlled and this should not be regulated, this would make it feel communist.
@9TD8FMR4wks4W
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.
@9RKDWR42mos2MO
Only technology that specifically, and only recognizes the faces of wanted criminals, suspected terrorists etc, not technology that recognizes the face of every citizen.
@9RFSJMHIndependent2mos2MO
at very limited degree and absolutely bar private uses
The technology is not proven and in most cases is wrong on racial profiles
@9RBXNLD3mos3MO
In theory it's great, but I can't see it being used appropriately.
@9QZCYDN3mos3MO
I think they should use the technology but they shouldn't have mass surveillance on everyone all the time
@9QTMDJTConservative3mos3MO
No, not until facial recognition is more constant and doesn't mess up/miss-ID people.
@9QQG9Z83mos3MO
No, people will just find other ways to bypass this.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 4mos4MO
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.
@9NK2RH94mos4MO
For areas of high-risk (i.e., Airports, government buildings,)
@9NGVW5N4mos4MO
The seems like it would turn into a privacy thing where everyone would end up having their privacy violated
@9MV4GBF4mos4MO
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 Democratic5mos5MO
Yes, as long as the private information of the public should stay private
@9S9R2T42mos2MO
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.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
no, especially what happened during the freedom convoy in 2022
@9RW65Z42mos2MO
Yes, But only to match faces to Identification Cards for purposes of missing people
@9RQNPMR2mos2MO
Yes but with caveats to ensure that is all it is used for
@9TSTBDY2wks2W
This is not of importance to me as I remain politically neutral
