I love how hardcore France is on privacy, even in the midst of a crisis: >"Last summer, the Parisian transport authority suspended an effort that used AI technology to monitor whether Metro riders were wearing masks. France's privacy watchdog had criticized the experiment, arguing that it risked "a feeling of general surveillance among citizens" that could "undermine the proper functioning of our democratic society." Even though the cameras had been installed for experimental purposes and were not used to impose fines, CNIL objected to the absence of a way for people to opt out of the footage." We need more societies like this.
