>Since 2020, the Reclaim Your Face coalition has actively put pressure on decision-makers by uncovering surveillance, publishing research reports, and mobilising people for a society free from harmful technologies such as facial recognition in publicly-accessible spaces.
Emphasis mine. This won't do much, and all the surveillance data will be shipped to China anyway. You're already in their database somewhere and they know more about you than the rest of the West combined.
- jchmrt 5y agoI think the defeatist stance of 'it will go to China anyways is quite harmful. We should at least try to legislate useful things and enforce them for the common good. Besides, if companies want to avoid the legislation, sending the data to China will not do them much good: what they are doing will be just as illegal. And presumably companies recording video on EU soil can be regulated from the EU.
