So do you believe that restricting the use of this tech in the US would prevent oppressive regimes from using it? Or even slow them down?

- alexandercrohde 8y agoI certainly believe that [it would slow them down]. Firstly, I think the odds of America becoming a repressive regime, though low, are much higher than the 1/300,000 chance of a particular child being abducted... Remember, the US had a criminal president in the 70s. Secondly, I think allowing this technology in America makes it more tolerated in other countries. Perhaps facial recognition in public should be banned by international treaty.
