Event description
London has more CCTV cameras per head than Beijing. Now some of these cameras are undergoing a worrying evolution – gaining the ability to instantly identify passers-by using live facial recognition. This technology is spreading fast and with plans for a mandatory digital ID, our right to privacy hangs in the balance.Big Brother Watch is fighting back – backing a landmark legal challenge against the Metropolitan Police’s use of live facial recognition and leading a national campaign against the introduction of a digital ID.Join us for a short documentary screening, followed by a discussion on the state of surveillance in 2025.
