New York City moves to restrict biometric surveillance at venues
Original: New York City officials push to restrict biometric surveillance at entertainment venues
New York City officials are pushing to restrict the use of biometric surveillance technology by entertainment venues, such as bars, concert halls and stadiums. The proposal targets systems that scan customers' faces or other biometric data, often to identify or exclude specific individuals. The measure would limit how venues collect and use such data, and has drawn attention from privacy advocates and the nightlife industry alike.
Why now: Growing public concern over privacy and facial recognition use by private businesses has put the issue on the city's legislative agenda.
