While I understand that the use of facial recognition could be very helpful to law enforcement in catching people in crimes very quickly, it could also be used to violate our privacy in the same way

 @B9R3HJH from New York  commented…5mos5MO

I believe that there would be pros and cons to facial recognition; we would have little privacy, but there would also be lower crime rates.

#1 Engaged Facial Recognition

Public, transparent audit logs of all queries to such a system can discourage a lot of misuse. Raw data should never be available outside of a cryptographically attested execution environment, unless a sufficiently narrow query relies on it, and the suspect has been served documents for discovery, like a subpoena.

 @B87V2QTRepublican from California  agreed…8mos8MO

The technology is relatively safe, but if a person gets hold of it they could use it for very bad things, for example (this is quite extreme), if a serial killer got this, you could literally track whoever they wanted and know everything, know where they work know were they live, and same with the government, they could use this againt everyone.

 @B8LFQ4T from Virginia  agreed…7mos7MO

For instance, a camera with facial recognition could catch somebody committing a major crime, but the people behind that camera can and WILL use it to watch people, invade our privacy, and keep tabs on every single person.

 @B8KM2DX from Ohio  agreed…7mos7MO

Look at other countries that use widespread surveillance of their citizens - they're all authoritarian states.

 @B8HNJ45 from Texas  agreed…7mos7MO

I agree with you, many times have organizations and individuals abuse such technologies or inventions for their own personal gain.

 @B8C6J8H from Oregon  agreed…8mos8MO

It can be sent or shared with the wrong people, As well as used incorrectly and the data can be transfer to create an image of someones face (replacing it/changing it) to incriminate said person.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
