A former Uber driver is suing because Uber deactivated his account when face-recognition software did not recognize his face. Perhaps he just wasn't himself that day. More likely the software made a mistake and Uber took it out on him.
The driver is black and alleges that the software has a racially skewed pattern of error. Such racially skewed errors of face recognition have been measured.
As long as face recognition systematically fails for certain people, more accurate face recognition would avoid harming them. However, if face recognition gets more accurate and recognizes blacks as accurately as it does whites, that will not make face recognition acceptable. The harm to human rights caused by accurately tracking everyone will get worse.
Now that Interpol has accepted Syria as a member, Assad can use it to harass and perhaps even seize exiled Syrian dissidents.

Everyone: Thank President Biden for expanding vaccine requirements to 100+ million Americans.
