I get the concerns over the use of biometric recognition, but I don’t think that that’s a genie that’s going back in the bottle.
It’s too easy to obtain images, and too easy to ship those images somewhere that they are processed in such a fashion.
And, like the 23andme compromise, once biometric data on people is out in the wild, I think that it’s going to be hard to keep people and businesses from using it.
Maybe it’s possible to wear clothing that conceals biometrics sufficient to prevent recognition. But then you’ve got stuff like anti-mask laws in many places…I think that that’d require both legal changes and changes in social norms.
If there would be proper oversight and people using the data illegally get properly punished, especially if it is police, the genie can get back in the bottle.
Hell if the bible is to believed the third human to walk the earth was murdered by the fourth human to do so, yet we got murder under control in most places.
