Prasid Banerjee &Abhijit Ahaskar from livemint said that The Lucknow police’s decision to use facial recognition technology (FRT) to monitor women’s expressions to prevent street harassment has spurred privacy concerns among Indians. The government needs to create strict and clear regulations before it allows law enforcement agencies to use facial recognition for policing, privacy advocates said.
“Considering the explicit and expansive findings on privacy by the Supreme Court, one of the first set of laws or regulations ought to have been on CCTV camera usage and FRT,” said N.S. Nappinai, cyber-law expert and SC lawyer. “My concern is that intrusive technologies are being used in the name of protection of women and children but without checks and balances.”
