Technology should be used for good, not as a tool to manipulate, spy & discriminate.

But applications like facial and remote biometric recognition technologies, by design, threaten people’s rights. 

Biometric surveillance tools have the capacity to identify, follow, single out, and track people everywhere they go, undermining our human rights — including the rights to privacy & data protection, the right to protest, free speech, and the rights to quality.

Civil Liberties Union for Europe & members from across Europe joined 170+ human rights advocates calling for an outright ban on uses of facial recognition & remote biometric recognition technologies that enable mass surveillance. 

Sign the letter to ensure that the use of biometric recognition technologies in publicly accessible spaces is banned — now and forever — and can no longer undermine human rights and civil liberties.
