Facial Recognition softwares have been in development for years now, mostly used by private companies in order to verify and/or identify individuals to grant them access. Moreover, the use of facial recognition for law enforcement purposes has been widespread in China, but not only. Our privacy, our faces are no longer our. There is a saying on the internet: if it's free- you're the product. In this day and age, in this capitalist society where everything is for sale, can spaces still protect us, or are they going to be at the front of the attack?
