Regulation of facial recognition may be needed, US senator says
http://j.mp/OJuPzy (Computerworld)
"The U.S. Congress may need to pass legislation that limits the way
government agencies and private companies use facial recognition
technology to identify people, a U.S. senator said Wednesday. The
growing use of facial recognition technology raises serious privacy
and civil liberties concerns, said Senator Al Franken, a Minnesota
Democrat and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's privacy
subcommittee. Franken, during a subcommittee hearing, called on the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Facebook to change the way
they use facial recognition technology."
