The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act bans federal use of face surveillance and withholds some federal tax dollars from paying for it at the state and local level. Tell your elected officials now to co-sponsor this bill! eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/no…

New: Detroit police wrongfully arrested Robert Williams in front of his two young daughters after a bad facial recognition search. He was interrogated and in custody for 30 hours. Now he's suing. A case that could help shape the future of police face scans wapo.st/3mIJHHT
