Facial biometrics to become mandatory for Brazilian mobile users
Original: agência nacional de telecomunicações
Brazil's national telecommunications agency is moving to make facial biometrics a requirement for mobile phone users. According to GAZETA, the measure would oblige customers to register facial identification when acquiring or maintaining mobile lines. The proposal is drawing attention amid wider debates about data protection, government surveillance and identity verification rules in the country's telecom sector.
Why now: A new mandatory facial biometrics rule for mobile users raises privacy and surveillance concerns, prompting public debate.
