The Hindu
Chinese state TV has criticised bathroom fixtures brand Kohler and automaker BMW for using facial recognition to identify customers in a possible violation of privacy rules that took effect this year.
The accusation came in an annual China Central Television broadcast Monday to mark Consumers' Day that often highlights complaints against foreign brands. Facial recognition is used by China's government as part of a nationwide surveillance network to monitor the public through millions of video cameras, eavesdropping on email and messaging services and other technology.More Related News
