Submission Text
I would risk bulletproof security - if such truly exists - in order to retain my rights of privacy. Facial recognition should be made an extremely clear, easy to use feature with both opt-in and an opt-out choices. There should be NO "sneaky" or obscure ways to draw people into facial recognition! It must be clarified with a statement such as "You have just chosen facial recognition. Are you sure you want to make this choice?" with a link to reveal the pros and cons of so doing. Please don't let the profit-seeking weasels win. Thank you!
