Robert Julian-Borchak Williams was arrested and accused of theft specifically because a computer matched a photo of the thief to his face. It was mistaken.

Once the thugs got the computer's answer they believed it with total faith, That often happens with prestigious technical systems.

To be falsely accused is annoying, occasionally disastrous, but it is not a new danger. It happens plenty often without a computer. That is why I believe the main danger of computerized identification of people is not that it may make mistakes, but rather that it may function correctly. Suppose the system correctly recognizes you as a protester, or as a journalist. Suppose the system recognizes you repeatedly as you walk along the street.

Suppose businesses set up millions of cameras and recognize everyone.

We must ban face recognition, and systematic tracking of people, not only by the state but by any entity whatsoever.
