The UK is sleepwalking towards the end of privacy in public. The spread of insidious Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) in public spaces across the country will mean we can no longer walk down our local high streets without being subject to constant monitoring and identification by dystopian surveillance technology.
Our research revealed a concerning lack of knowledge among MPs, including that 70% of MPs don't even know whether FRT is being used in their own constituency.
Privacy International is relaunching this campaign. We hope to continue to highlight the dangers that this surveillance technology poses and bring it to the attention of MPs.
The aim was to raise awareness of these concerns in order to mobilise and empower members of the public. It encouraged the public to take action by writing to their elected representatives in the UK, Members of Parliament (MPs), to urge them to act.
