*[Enwl-eng] Mass surveillance just reached a scary new level

[ENWL]

            Australia is using controversial facial recognition technology 
as part of its mass surveillance project. This is an unethical invasion of 
privacy!

                 Once you enter a high-traffic area like a school or a 
public place, they're monitoring you. They know your face; they've 
identified facts about you. No one gets a say in whether or not they're 
going to be tracked and observed. And lack of regulations mean that law 
enforcement agencies can use these technologies at will. This is what's 
happening in Australia, where authorities are using invasive — and 
imperfect — facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to 
monitor the general public. This is a violation of our human rights.

                  Facial recognition is not benign. It might seem useful on 
the surface, but in fact, the tech is often used to profile people using 
biased, discriminatory biometrics, which is then incorporated into mass 
surveillance. These data and images are then scanned, stored, and shared in 
ways that are not always sufficiently secure or reliable. The Australian 
Human Rights Commission has been extremely concerned about these 
developments, detailing how facial recognition increases the risk of 
targeting people of color. As this technology spreads across the world, so 
too do privacy issues — and we have to act now. Sign the petition to urge 
the Australian Government to ban this technology and review the laws 
surrounding human rights and privacy for the Australian people.

                  Thank you,

human rights risk and is invasive to the life of the everyday Australian.
