Even if we ban it here in the US, there's nothing stopping adversarial foreign governments from building the same databases, and probably with a lot more computing power and technical expertise.

You make a good point, a simple ban of this technology isn't good enough. The ban needs to go further, to ban the kinds of things that enable the technology, like massive databases that aggregate people's personal photos or surveillance video.
- aeternum 7y agoThe bans would have to be quite extensive. You could not allow networked security camera systems like nest/ring. No social networks could exist, no personal video sharing. Even governmental databases of photo IDs and company photo IDs pose a risk given this technology. Always a chance of a data leak or bad actor. There does not seem to be a feasible way to stop this. We may simply need to accept that a face will be enough to positively ID anyone.
