On 28 June, Pride parade will take place in Budapest. The police is, by local laws, allowed to use face recognition systems even for minor “offenses”, which includes attending the Pride.
This form of mass surveillance leads to a decline of our fundamental rights ⚠️
Today, @algorithmwatch, @edri, @ecnl, HCLU & Liberties launched a petition. We demand:
1️⃣ an enforcement of the EU AI Act &
2️⃣ an end to face recognition in public spaces.
