Facial recognition is most of the time not illegal per se, yet is poses challenges to privacy I never really thought about. Hill points them out in chilling detail and shows how an entire wave of companies and researchers are working to make a really pervasive kind of surveillance come true.

Her conclusion - facial recognition is here to stay and it can be used both for good and bad; so we should think about how to deal with it - is a wake-up call that we, as a society, have to plan for a different world in which it will not be evident to go about your life discreetly and anonymously.

A searing look at the dystopian future that awaits us with facial recognition technology that grows stronger by the day. We need policymakers to take this seriously and enact meaningful legislative solutions ASAP before the tech becomes too strong and pervasive to overcome.
