So does this mean "using facial recog. tech on video footage taken in a public area (post capture)" OR "only banning integrated video + face recog. tech"... Hardly seems likely they'd ban all video cameras; So sending footage off to a remote location (possibly diff country) to process the file for faces is a trivial side step... Would love to think there's a comprehensive solution to this but it's a difficult thing to just say 'it's banned'.

They figured it out with GDPR, so I don't think there will be a problem with that.

> Hardly seems likely they'd ban all video cameras Maybe for reference, NAL but that's pretty much already the case here in Germany. Save for some exceptions, that are relatively narrow (such as for law enforcement - and even there it's not whilly nilly), you can't just legally place video recording devices in public areas, even moreso if you don't own that space and provide obvious notice. Sending that data off to some remote country would be an even worse, though relatively unrelated, legal nightmare.

I'm sure there will be at least some attempts, but the legal framework to stop those exists.
