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.

Yes, but i think it should be regulated, and set policies to where it does not get misused and is only used for safety.
@B3PTFZQ4mos4MO
I personally would not like it but at the same time it can highly reduce crime rates, but it can also be at a very high chance to be miss used, and the idea feels creepy
@B25H8JJ7mos7MO
yes but no. yes because it for everyones safty but no because some people might not care and dont like it.
@9YCH6PK8mos8MO
Yes but only incases when looking specifically for a wanted criminal not to be used to monitor the American people.
while I agree safety should be more enhanced ,it should depend on who uses it because sometimes it can be misused
@9XH63898mos8MO
Yes it can help but also it can not work sometimes I think they should use it sometimes but not increase it.
@9X5KW2D8mos8MO
Facial recognition is still so far from perfection that it's too unreliable now. I think it can be used if only necessary.
@9X47W2J8mos8MO
Only in the most dire scenarios or in places that would be high target risks for something dangerous happening.
@9X44BKF8mos8MO
Yes, but with user oversight. Facial recognition can be tricked and is not 100% effective 100% of the time.
@9WSD53T8mos8MO
Well it could help people keep more people safe BUT I think with how technology is it could mess up and give wrong person with similar facial features which is a consern.
I would say for some things they can but not for all as there will be a lot of issues that will come with this.
@9WKF3JPIndependent8mos8MO
No, that is an invasion of privacy. In an event of terror or criminal activity, but having the ability to use this technology is quite helpful. Having regulations and guidelines for use would still benefit us highly
@9WH98XM8mos8MO
The government should use it for criminals but should need to ask and gain permission from independent security camera owners first
@9WB7QK39mos9MO
Too difficult to answer yes or no. On one hand, the increased public safety is a win, but on the other hand, people are entitled to their privacy, and there are too many negative things that can be done with this technology by people with little or no ethics
@9VTQZ3M9mos9MO
I feel like there can be more important things than facial recognition to protect public safety although it is an ok idea.
@9VQSSK99mos9MO
Yes, but we should add protection along with facial recognition as people can steal others' identities.
@9VLCJJQ9mos9MO
limited use of technology to be used in transit hubs, government buildings and essential infrastructure
@9VC55LF9mos9MO
there should be places that have important things and other things that should be secured and allow them to be identified
@9VBMMNP9mos9MO
Probably not, it would not protect the privacy of US citizens. But if the government did allow it, no criminal would be able to deny the evidence of them being at the crime scene.
@9V4TGZX9mos9MO
No, because anyone could hack the system and cause innocent people to be killed and imprisoned for crime the did not commit.
@9V39RH99mos9MO
While the idea is a good one, in theory, having drones or some form of technology that scans your face so that you can do pretty much anything would cause the majority of people to feel frightened or uncomfortable with the regulations that would be put on them. Even so, the idea is a good one in itself.
@9TZR9H2Women’s Equality9mos9MO
if you are in the system as a criminal then yes just so they know what crimes you done in the pass other then that it should be an option base off what you want
@9TTTQGJ10mos10MO
I think so to a certain extent unless it is if a fugitive is on the loose and they know that they might be in that area or scenarios similar to that
@9TP3GKNRepublican10mos10MO
The government should have facial recognition technology for mass surveillance in only certain areas.
@9TMHPL610mos10MO
This is a slippery slope and not something I fully support. I worry about overzealous law enforcement individuals.
@9TBYHTS10mos10MO
Touchy subject bc we have a corrupt government so this could go very south. I believe we should reform our prison system and criminal justice before we think about facial recognition for the whole country
@9SZXZX510mos10MO
Facial recognition could show potential in some surveillance, but the privacy of citizens must be respected beforehand and discussed further.
@9SQTW5B10mos10MO
it wound not bother me in any way if they did or did not use facial recognition technology for mass surveillance to enhance public safety
@9W7ZFFG9mos9MO
I think this could possibly be good but overall will instill the fear of always being watched and also allows more control for the government, so no.
@9VRQKPP9mos9MO
Yes it will help but sometimes people can get smart and use AI or something that can print the same person face and use it
@9TZ6X699mos9MO
Yes, add facial recognition technology, but ensure that it is encrypted and unable to be stolen or abused.
