Abstract

Background: Privacy regulations surrounding facial recognition technology (FRT) are not enough to protect the privacy of online users from FRT companies and law enforcement. Analysis: A case study analysis of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s (RCMP’s) use of Clearview AI reveals that police and FRT companies violate provincial and federal privacy regulations by scraping facial images from the internet without user consent. Conclusion and Implications: In the context of increased calls to further regulate FRT, this case study emphasizes that robust privacy protections extend beyond comprehensive privacy regulations, and must include fundamental changes to selfie, smartphone, and upgrade cultures.

在可见性的数字文化中调节面部识别技术的问题

背景：围绕面部识别技术（FRT）的隐私法规不足以保护在线用户的隐私免受FRT公司和执法部门的侵犯。分析：对加拿大皇家骑警（RCMP）使用Clearview AI的案例分析显示，警方和FRT公司在未经用户同意的情况下从互联网上抓取面部图像，违反了省和联邦隐私法规。结论和启示：在进一步监管FRT的呼声越来越高的背景下，本案例研究强调，强有力的隐私保护超越了全面的隐私法规，必须包括对自拍、智能手机和升级文化的根本改变。
