https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/31/aclu_facial_recognition/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21412356 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21417541 https://regmedia.co.uk/2019/10/31/aclu-fbi-facial-recog-lawsuit.pdf https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=998565 The ACLU has demanded the release of the TLA trio's guidelines and rules regarding what the union terms "face surveillance technology," well as details of any contracts or pilot programs it has with private companies over the technology. The FBI, DoJ and DEA have refused to provide information on what programs, pilots of policies they have in place over facial recognition technology. The FBI has a larger database of over 640 million faces... seemingly run by an internal FBI unit called Facial Analysis, Comparison and Evaluation (FACE), The policies covering use of that database is still unknown, as are the systems that federal government uses to carry out facial recognition. What is known is that several companies have contracts with the government for facial recognition, including Amazon. Again, the details of those contracts are unknown.
