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.

@B27PCQL4mos4MO
No, the technology is trustworthy but it sets a dangerous precedent for the government and requires too much trust as it can be misused.
@B49LKNY3wks3W
never, you would find me taking down the cameras with my own hands, because i dont want anyone to be watching me, or anyine else. this happened in the soviet union, and we saw what happened
@B3RXXXK1mo1MO
Facial recognition can enhance security, but mass surveillance raises serious privacy concerns. A regulated, case-by-case approach—with strict oversight and ethical guidelines—might be the best path forward.
@B3MY9V32mos2MO
I'd say no, what would you do if the system fails, then your homes basically a target for criminals, I suggest sticking to the conventinal lock design where you use a key to enter.
@B3HJK9R2mos2MO
No, facial recognition and profiling technologies have already been shown to be unreliable by being prone to false positives and biased if trained by a human (biggest example is racial profiling). As well, the potential for misuse should be considered.
@B3DKZ6S2mos2MO
Yes, but they should consider the fact that faces can be manipulated either online(editing) or in real life(plastic surgery)
@B39XQHF2mos2MO
No, but my only reason for this is because what if a person travels far away to get plastic surgery and when they try to come home the face id cant recognize them so now they cannot come back home.
@B39DTY72mos2MO
This sets a dangerous precedent that can be potentially abused by corrupt officials therefore it must be tightly regulated and only used in targeting hotspots for protection of innocents
