Senators Introduce Facial Recognition Privacy Act Aimed At Stemming Concerns

Description

According to a report by Geek.com, two US senators want to limit businesses ability to use facial recognition data with the Commercial Facial Recognition Act, aimed at commercial users of FR technology. Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Brian Schatz introduced the measure in response to fears of the Orwellian "Big Brother" state FR technology would inevitably create. Blunt said in a statement, "Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is being collected and used, including data collected through facial recognition technology. That’s why we need guardrails to ensure that, as this technology continues to develop, it is implemented responsibly.” Geek.com reports that, if passed, the bill would require companies to notify customers when FR technology is in use.

  • Democrats Ready To Deal For COVID Relief

    The COVID-19 relief bill has languished for months, with no signs that congress will ever approve it. Now, Business Insider reports that Democrats are ready to do anything to get the relief passed. A number of Democrats said they may drop demands for state and local government aid in a forthcoming COVID-19 stimulus bill. AP reports that Dick Durbin and Chris Coons would back a slimmed-down $748 billion compromise deal which omits the support. The bipartisan group trimmed off state and local government aid, and legal protections for businesses. These now form part of a separate $160 billion proposal, which has less chance of passing.
