Mass protests used to offer a degree of safety in numbers. Facial recognition technology changes the equation. This story explores how thanks to new facial recognition technology, protesters’ safety in numbers is becoming a thing of the past. We take a look at three case studies — in Russia, India, and Iran — to show the proliferation of facial recognition as a tool to control and curtail protest. Written by Darren Loucaides. Narrated by Jane Seidel. Original story: https://restofworld.org/2024/facial-recognition-government-protest-surveillance/
