Outlawing the public/ businesses because only fundamental government should do it
May well be.

Not so sure about this. Just anecdotal, but the office building I work in here in Shanghai just put in new equipment to enter the elevators. There’s facial recognition when you swipe your card to get into the elevator bank and then another when you enter the elevator and swipe the card for you floor.
I’d say that facial recognition in China has accelerated if nothing ese.
Believe nothing comming out of china

> The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.
So the cameras are still allowed in hotel rooms, dressing rooms, and bathrooms? Just no privately operated facial recognition on them?
