European Union surprises with an unexpected decision regarding a major problem that he had announced that he would regulate, but it seems that in the end he decided to leave everything to the various European states instead of deciding for them for everyone.
European Union he announced a few weeks ago that he would impose a series of recommendations regarding the use of facial recognition systems in public space, all with the idea of preventing abuses by the states, but in the end he left them the right to choose how they act.
European Union it practically leaves to the states the possibility to use facial recognition to identify people on the streets based on the surveillance cameras installed by the authorities, London is already using a system of this kind in certain areas of the city.
European Union initially made it clear that it would not allow the discretionary use of these people identification systems by the states that make it up, but probably the pressure exerted by their governments brought this new decision.
"Instead, it appears that the European Commission will encourage member states to set their own facial recognition rules. The latest draft suggests that independent groups evaluate each proposed public use of the technology. A source familiar with both projects said the moratorium was popular among civil rights activists but opposed by the security community and that the debate has divided the parties."
The European Union will practically become a space in which each state will be able to monitor its citizens through facial recognition in a legal way, after legislating everything, so it remains to be seen how many citizens will be protected in the end.
