"Bruce Schneier writes in the New York Times that banning facial
recognition (as cities like San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Brookline
and Somerville have done) is not enough: there are plenty of other ways
to automatically recognize people (gait detection, high-resolution
photos of hands that reveal fingerprints, voiceprints, etc), and these
will all be used for the same purpose that makes facial recognition bad
for our world: to sort us into different categories and treat us
different based on those categories."
