San Francisco just banned face recognition tech. The people that are actually building these technologies don't want to live in the surveillance state they're participating in building and know intimately from the inside.
Are we asking the right questions about technology? Naomi Klein points to @ruha9 and @safiyanoble's work, but also points out the ways the tech industry tried to improve face recognition race bias by scraping people's creative commons photos #ica2019
Gender and race questions are more manageable by tech companies. These are the questions they want to be answering, but we aren't asking the bigger questions of whether even to have this tech at all.
(I'd add @_louhicky's insight that tech companies are using disability access as a justification for massive surveillance enabled tech.)
