Over 1,000 parents sign open letter protesting facial recognition in schools

This morning, Fight for the Future, a nonprofit advocacy group promoting causes related to privacy, censorship, and copyright legislation, published a letter calling for a ban on facial recognition in U.S. schools. The open letter, which is addressed to lawmakers and school administrators around the country, has gained 1,000 signatures from parents in 50 states in less than a week. It highlights the dangers of surveillance and risks associated with data compromise, as well as ways facial recognition might exacerbate discrimination against specific groups of students.
