From February 2020 - I know it's late but does anyone have an update on this?
EU Facial Recognition Databases
If you think, it couldn't go any further it will. Will people still going on to tell that they don't have anything to hide?
According to leaked internal European Union documents, the EU could soon be creating a network of national police facial recognition databases. A report drawn up by the national police forces of 10 EU member states, led by Austria, calls for the introduction of EU legislation to introduce and interconnect such databases in every member state. The report, which The Intercept obtained from a European official who is concerned about the network’s development, was circulated among EU and national officials in November 2019. If previous data-sharing arrangements are a guide, the new facial recognition network will likely be connected to similar databases in the U.S., creating what privacy researchers are calling a massive transatlantic consolidation of biometric data.
When I read the article, it gave me the chills. But never read any update on this. A small research did not bring any new results. But I'm not a great researcher.
