Should the government use facial recognition technology for mass surveillance to enhance public safety?

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.

No

No, it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over citizens

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...11mos11MO

Yes

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...5mos5MO

Yes, but only if it’s tightly regulated and used with transparency

 @9PPZ7Z9answered…10mos10MO

Yes, as long as it does not infringe on privacy rights; as long as there is government accountability regarding misuse and discrimination; and as long as ethical and civil liberties concerns are considered.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...5mos5MO

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...5mos5MO

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

How would you respond if someone else benefited from facial recognition, but it violated your own privacy or values?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

In a world where every public camera could recognize you, do you feel more secure or more vulnerable?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What might be the impact of facial recognition technology on people who are unfairly treated or targeted in society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If facial recognition could prevent crimes but also gathered information on innocent people, would that be an acceptable trade-off?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you balance the need for safety with the risk of compromising personal freedom if such technology becomes widespread?

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...5mos5MO

No, this would be too expensive to implement

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Who should be held responsible if facial recognition technology is used to discriminate or unfairly target individuals?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you think facial recognition could make your community safer, or would it just make you feel more controlled?

 @6WBMZK3  from California  answered…7mos7MO

I think it’s generally more of a sign towards insecurity and a violation of basic privacy than a method of protection.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would you feel if every time you walked into a public place, your face was instantly recognized and logged?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Can you imagine a situation where facial recognition might help you in a positive way, and if so, what would that scenario look like?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you believe there should be limits on when and where technology like this is used, and if so, what should those limits be?
