Facial Recognition Technology poses extreme risks to our rights - tell the Minister for Justice you don't consent!

The Minister for Justice wants to give Gardaí the ability to use Facial Recognition Technology (FRT).

A person’s face is permanently and irrevocably linked to a person’s identity. FRT treats our faces like license plates, matching facial features to a database of images.

FRT tracks and follows us wherever we go, undermining our rights to privacy, to protest, and to associate with others. FRT is known for its inability to correctly identify faces that are not white and male, due to inherent biases. So it also undermines our right to equality and non-discrimination.

Tell the Minister you do not consent to being tracked by FRT!

Dear Minister McEntee,

I do not consent to being tracked or identified by Facial Recognition Technology.

This tech poses an extreme risk to my rights, including privacy, protest, association and equality.

I am deeply concerned about An Garda Síochána's track record with keeping data safe. I am also concerned at the risk that FRT could be used to target certain groups of people.

I do not consent to being recorded and identified using this technology as I exercise my human rights.
