Boston bans facial recognition due to concern about racial bias

The return of medieval superstition! When facial becomes farcical!
I bet the advantages of face recognition far outweigh any dubious concerns about "racial bias".

"The Boston City Council today voted unanimously to ban facial recognition, making Boston the largest city in the country to ban the technology since San Francisco passed the first citywide ban in May 2019. Nearby Somerville, Massachusetts passed a facial recognition ban roughly a year ago as well."
