[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4944157, member: 56035"] Last week we discovered that the federal government tested facial recognition technology on [B]millions[/B] of unconsenting travellers at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. 1 [B]This happened 5 years ago, yet we’re just learning about it now. [/B]In the last five years the underlying technology has only become more sophisticated and widespread. Can you imagine what is happening NOW that we don’t yet know about? This is yet another example of how surveillance and facial recognition are secretly running wild in our country without any meaningful laws restricting their use. OpenMedia is fighting for meaningful legislation restricting mass facial recognition in public spaces and defending our privacy rights. We cannot allow the casual misuse of this technology to continue. Will you stand with us?
