Portland, Maine passes referendum banning facial surveillance
Seems people are disregarding this vote based on hypothetical loopholes. Instead, i am focused on the awareness this bill represents.<p>Facial Recognition and Right to Repair improvements both ended up on state ballots and came away with citizen/consumer wins (as opposed to gov/corporate).<p>HN comments are usually quick to point out that "normal people" don't have a clue about these issues. I tend to agree. I for one am happy to have such objective data points that the public is sensing some urgency here.
