TLDR Facial recognition isn't just a neat little gimmick to unlock your iPhone or save a couple minutes at the airport. It's a dangerous weapon wielded by abusive governments to silence dissidents. China already has 170 million CCTV cameras, with 300 million being installed in the next 3 years. Other companies are working on recognition software that tracks your identity by things like your hairstyle and clothing.
