The pervasive use of facial recognition technology across all facets of life in China has elicited both praise for its convenience and backlash around privacy concerns.\nCritics have raised concerns over privacy and bias over the use of facial recognition.\nThe proposed measures appear to provide individuals with more rights to opt out of facial recognition in specific circumstances -- but they come with limitations.\nThe utilization of facial recognition should be limited to \"specific purposes and full necessity,\" requiring individual approval or written consent, according to the draft measures.\nMoreover, facial recognition should not serve as the sole means of access to a building.
