Meta Is Testing Facial Recognition for Police and Military

Meta is developing facial recognition technology for use by law enforcement and military agencies, with prototyping work involving a Pentagon supplier. The technology would enable real-time identification capabilities, similar to systems that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sought to deploy.

Why it matters: Civil liberties advocates, privacy practitioners, and organizations working with vulnerable populations should monitor this development, as deployment of real-time facial recognition by law enforcement and defense agencies raises significant accuracy, consent, and surveillance concerns.
