How tricky will it be to regulate facial recognition? In May, San Francisco banned the tech in municipal surveillance—only to realize it just made city-issued iPhones equipped with Face ID illegal. https://t.co/ehwQ1IwlML

Interesting things happened after San Francisco banned facial recognition:

1. Staff discovered they had made city-issued iPhones unlawful, because of Apple's Face ID.
2. SFPD had to disable a facial recognition system it had kept from public knowledge https://t.co/GqSFGDfaii
Not even the office of the city supervisor who proposed the ban knew about SFPD's facial recognition technology. SFPD now says that after the ban passed it "dismantled the facial recognition servers." https://t.co/GqSFGDfaii

ICYMI: San Francisco PD didn't let on that they had been testing, and were testing, facial recognition systems when the city passed a ban in May. We have the docs. https://t.co/IkPpvq2GLV via @tsimonite @gregoryjbarber

As identification software gets cheaper, more powerful, and more integrated with other software solutions, regulating it becomes more complicated such that the simplicity of a ban becomes intractable, politically and practicallyhttps://t.co/oSKRcPK4vx

Kind of amazing that both of these things happened and that neither were raised earlier. https://t.co/MlorC1ORVl

San Francisco banned city use of facial recognition tech earlier this year.... Then, officials realized that many employees were carrying facial recognition systems around, on their iPhones. The ordinance was amended... https://t.co/IkPpvq2GLV via @tsimonite @gregoryjbarber
