+1 Local Ban on Facial Recognition Software

Where: Boston

Why is Boston City Council considering banning facial recognition software?

• Preemption. The State Legislature is considering a moratorium on facial recognition technology, biometric surveillance systems, including gait and voice recognition
• Polling. 8 of 10 people in the state support a moratorium
• Peer Pressure. Other cities in the state have passed bans
• Protect Rights. Civil liberties are preserved from a dystopian government + data indicates unequal impact of the software
