It’s not just governments across Europe, but this petition also calls for the ban of companies doing it too.
I wonder how the “watchdog” piece of this would work, practically speaking, since nowadays almost anywhere with a decent camera can implement some kind of facial recognition or tracking, and cameras are ubiquitous.
Maybe places will find a workaround like just export the video to a different geographic zone datacenter to analyze it.
I don’t see all governments or businesses agreeing to this because: 1. They wouldn’t want to, 2. It would be hard to prevent if the ways to do it still exist, 3. The “big enough” places will just do it anyway in secret.
