You may've heard stories about the Chinese government experimenting with facial recognition technology to monitior citizens. The technology has also had a mixed track record when it comes to its use by law enforcement in the west. A study from May 2018 found that facial recognition tech used by the UK's Metropolitan Police was inaccurate in 98 percent of cases. But that hasn't stopped the US Department of Homeland Security from testing facial recognition around the White House.

The ACLU and the coalition of groups want to ensure that big tech companies don't allow the US government to use their facial recognition technologies to limit human rights. The ACLU says facial recognition "gives the government new power to target and single out immigrants, religious minorities and people of color in our communities" and that "systems built on face surveillance will amplify and exacerbate historical and existing bias."
