Facial Recognition
Every bill we’re tracking on facial recognition, with clear summaries of its provisions, status, and effects.
Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act
Would ban federal agencies from using facial recognition and other remote biometric surveillance unless Congress authorizes a specific use, and cut federal public safety grants to police that keep using it.
Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act
Would bar federal agencies from using automated license-plate readers, facial recognition, biometric identification, and other systems built for persistent or mass surveillance.
Surveillance Accountability Act
Would require a probable-cause warrant for government access to third-party data and let people seek redress when federal officials violate their Fourth Amendment rights.
