Should it be banned?
I think so. The existing cons vastly outweigh any theoretical benefit such tech could have

Explain more.

My phone has it.

My doorbell camera has it.

What are the cons?

@JoeyFoxx its extremely inaccurate basically. if used in forensics or any form of public/private regulatory practice it would open up a nightmare world of surveillance/overreach/legal abuses.

@NoahB As the sole basis of an evaluation, I sort of agree. But, how do you measure "extremely inaccurate"? My doorbell is VERY accurate. It's less accurate with masks, but still a hit rate above 80%.

I don't understand why it should be banned entirely.
