Big Brother Watch Team / April 18, 2018

Facebook reveals plans to bring back its intrusive facial recognition technology to the EU and the UK

“Biometric identification and tracking across the billions of photos on the platform exacerbates serious privacy risks to users,” commented Silkie Carlo, director of UK civil liberties group Big Brother Watch.

“Facebook now has a duty to prove it has learned how to respect the law, not to prove it can take its surveillance capabilities to new depths.”
