🇬🇧#AIAct: The EU Council today approved an instruction manual for rolling out permanent and comprehensive #biometricmasssurveillance in public using real-time #facialrecognition. AI #behaviouralsurveillance is not excluded, either.

#Pirates say no to such #BiometricMassSurveillance!

R to @echo_pbreyer: 🇬🇧Since 2015, some French police forces have illegally been using #BehaviouralSurveillance tools - and allegedly Remote Biometric Identification too.
Ahead of the #AIAct final trilogue of 6/12 I say: Let’s ban #BiometricMassSurveillance, don’t legitimise it by way of “exceptions”

R to @echo_pbreyer: 🇬🇧 Remember the French Olympic Games law allowing to trial #BehaviouralSurveillance through CCTV feeds? This practice is widely used in France since 2015, illegally!
An express appeal already won in Normandy: the practice violates rights and is illegal
