I just signed a petition to stop the massive rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK. The Government and shops are starting to scan us without clear laws in place, effectively turning our faces into barcodes. It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-scanning-us-all-with-facial-recognition?source=web_share_api&utm_medium=socialshare&utm_source=web_share_api&share=7b117e97-6b5d-4e16-ae4d-61e6df410e4f
