Islington Council vote to ban live facial recognition
Commenting on the news that Islington Borough Council has rejected the Metropolitan Police’s use of live facial recognition in the borough, Mark Johnson, Advocacy Manager at Big Brother Watch said:
“The news that Islington councillors have passed a motion calling for an immediate stop to the use of live facial recognition surveillance in the borough is extremely welcome. This Orwellian technology is deeply intrusive and has well-documented issues with accuracy and bias.
“Both the Met Commissioner and the Home Secretary should take note that communities in areas where this technology has been used are rejecting live facial recognition. The new Government has an opportunity to do more to protect our rights and freedoms. They can do this right away by following the example of Islington Council and putting a stop to the use of live facial recognition across the UK.”
ENDS.
