BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s cyberspace regulator on Friday published regulations governing the use of facial recognition technology, separately stating that entities should not force individuals to verify their identity using facial recognition technology.
The Cyberspace Administration of China said on its official website that the regulations were published in response to growing concerns within society about the risks the widespread use of facial recognition technology pose to data privacy.
