Flock adds face recognition to its surveillance cameras

Original: Company adds face recognition to Flock cameras

Surveillance firm Flock has added face recognition capabilities to its camera network, expanding beyond license plate reading. The move is drawing criticism from privacy and civil liberties advocates, who warn it enables mass, real-time identification of people in public spaces without consent. Debates over local bans and regulation of the technology are expected to intensify.

Why now: People are reacting to the expansion of automated public surveillance into facial identification and its civil liberties implications.
