❗️ However, international experiences show that similar measures can pose serious risks to privacy and freedom of expression. In the United Kingdom, for example, the use of facial recognition in public spaces and digital platforms faced strong backlash after several data leaks and security breaches. In 2020, the case of the company Clearview AI, which collected billions of user images without consent, exposed the fragility of such systems and led to investigations by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

➡️ In addition to the risk of mass data exposure, mandatory biometric verification could lead to excessive control over access to information. In contexts of high digital surveillance, there is a danger that facial monitoring could be used to track behavior and restrict content, creating a scenario of indirect censorship and limitation of freedom on the internet.
