Police and private companies in the UK are increasingly using facial recognition technology to monitor, categorise and track us. The technology works by creating a ‘faceprint’ of everyone who passes in front of camera — processing biometric data as sensitive as a fingerprint, often without our knowledge or consent. This dangerously authoritarian surveillance is a threat to our privacy and freedoms — it has no place on the streets of Britain.
We’ve just launched legal action against police and shops’ use of live facial recognition surveillance.
We’re crowdfunding to grow the biggest possible campaign of resistance to an unprecedented Government and retail expansion of facial recognition surveillance in the UK. With your support, we can:
-
Take groundbreaking legal action against police and shops’ use of facial recognition
-
Demand politicians roll back live facial recognition
-
Give legal advice & support to people affected by live facial recognition
-
Work with groups around the world fighting live facial recognition surveillance…
